Polar Express is the theme of the 37th annual formal benefit hosted by San Antonio Zoo. As one of San Antonio’s premier social events, Zoo Ball is an annual black-tie gala benefiting efforts to secure a future for wildlife. Zoo Ball will be host to more than 800 prominent philanthropic community leaders and will feature a perfectly curated dinner, silent and live auctions featuring one-of-a-kind zoo experiences, and dancing to the music of Finding Friday. 

Since 1956, the San Antonio Zoo Eagle, formerly known as the Brackenridge Eagle, has chugged along the tracks skirting the banks of the San Antonio River as it makes its way through one of San Antonio’s most popular parks.

This year’s Zoobilation Ball will be benefiting the purchase of two new upgraded trains. The new trains will allow for the continuation of providing generations of guests with the same nostalgic experience.

Zoo Ball chairs Jayme and William Russell with co-chairs Dani and Cosmo Guido outdid themselves!  Congrats!
