Annual Bo Johnson zoo celebration party set for April 6

The annual Bo Johnson Memorial Golf Tournament Celebration Party will be held Sunday, April 6, from 5-9 p.m. at the Birmingham Children’s Zoo.

The event will feature music by Jimmy and Laine, food by Full Moon BBQ, a silent auction and children’s activities. Everyone, golfers and non-golfers alike, is welcome to attend.

The party is held each year in memory of Bo Johnson, who passed away from esophageal cancer in 2005. The events have raised more than $500,000 for cancer research since 2006. All proceeds from the party and golf tournament benefit the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The golf tournament will be held April 7 at Highlands Golf Course with a 1 p.m. shotgun start.

The zoo party costs $45 per person at the door, and children younger than age 10 are admitted free.
