Wild Night for WildCare

🌙 Thursday, Oct. 2 🍸

AGES 21+ ONLY

Wild Night for WildCare is your invitation to mix and mingle with some of our very own Saint Louis Zoo WildCare Institute Field Conservationists.

Enjoy a signature cocktail and light hors d’oeuvres as we highlight the great work of the WildCare Institute in a relaxed and entertaining environment.

Please note: You may recognize the name of this event from previous fundraising events, last held in 2018. This year, we're excited to offer a new experience under the same name. Wild Night for WildCare 2025 is an education-focused gathering designed to connect our community and inspire learning. While the format has changed, the spirit of conservation and connection remains. We hope you'll join us!
