Help show your support for the Palm Beach Zoo at this year’s fifth annual black-tie fundraiser. “Our Magnificent Animal Kingdom” will not only raise awareness for the zoo’s worldwide conservation and education projects but will assist in raising much needed funds to help offset the cost of providing over 1,600 animals with the state-of-the-art care they deserve.
