Over 500 guests attended the Birmingham Zoo Junior Board's fundraiser earlier this month.
This year's 14th Annual ‘Tails in the Trails' fundraising event was to benefit Carlito, the Zoo’s giant anteater and his habitat. Almost $195,000 was raised by the junior board via their Corporate Partner Program and this year’s ‘Tails in the Trails party, setting new records of philanthropy for this group.
Partying on the Trails of Africa, the outdoor celebration featured restaurants including Ladybird Taco, Biscuit Love, Rock ‘N Roll Sushi, Frothy Monkey, Overtime Grill & Bar, Hattie B’s Chicken, Adored Sweets, Naughty But Nice Kettle Corn, Taste, Post Office Pies, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, Ruby Sunshine, Crumbl Cookies, Red or White, Seasons 52, and Chop N Fresh.
Guests enjoyed live animal encounters and an online auction.
