The 32nd WildNite for Wildlife event, will be held on Thursday, April 20th at the Lakeside Pavilion at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
In 2022, WildNite for Wildlife surpassed its fundraising goal and raised $207,953 with 288 people in attendance.
The annual event raises revenue to support the operations of the Wildlife Hospital, which admitted nearly 8,000 patients in 2022. WildNite for Wildlife will feature unique live and silent auction items and a Fund-a-Need campaign to support animal care. The audience will also experience the journeys of three unique animals from their rescue to release.
The Donald L. Burton Legacy Award will also be presented, with the winner to be announced at a later date.
The WildNite event will feature volunteers, board members, community partners and Animal Ambassadors.
