On Thursday, September 22, the Houston Zoo’s Ambassadors gathered at the newly renovated cougar exhibit for an evening of Cocktails and Canapés. Guests enjoyed the cooler weather as they sipped on wine and beer and sampled delicious bites created by Chef Larry of Solarus Catering. The Zoo’s Carnivore team presented a demonstration featuring the cougars and jaguars, delighting guests with an up close and personal view into the training that happens daily at the Houston Zoo. Event goers learned more about these amazing animals and why keepers work diligently to train different behaviors. To view more photos from this event, please click here.

The Ambassadors is a growing group of Zoo supporters who are committed to spreading the mission and vision of the Houston Zoo. Each year, the Ambassadors are invited to exclusive social events, aimed at providing members with a personalized Zoo experience to inspire leadership for the Houston Zoo. These events culminate with the Annual Ambassadors’ Winter Gala that directly benefits the Zoo’s animal care, education, and conservation programs. The Fourth Annual Gala will be held on February 4, 2012 and promises to be another exciting evening of food, drinks, and unforgettable animal experiences.

With an annual donation of $250 for an individual or $500 for a couple, Ambassadors receive a number of exclusive benefits including unlimited admission to the Zoo for one year, a 15% discount in the Houston Zoo Gift Shop and much more.

 

This is a great value for those who want to make a difference for their Zoo and are looking for fantastic benefits in return. To learn more about the Ambassadors or to join today, please click here.
