Kids' Zoobilee Ends in 2010 After 12 Successful Years
2010 marked the end of 12 years of Kids’ Zoobilee.
The event was founded in 1999 to help support the Pride of The Plains exhibit at the Sedgwick County Zoo and raise funds for Junior League of Wichita (JLW). The exhibit was a $1.5 million donation to the Zoo from JLW in celebration of JLW’s 75th anniversary to house lions, meerkats and warthogs. Since 1999, Kids’ Zoobilee raised more than $500,000 to support the Zoo and JLW.
As this chapter in JLW’s history closes, we note with pride the outstanding partnership we have had with the Zoo for the past 12 years. We also celebrate the longstanding support that JLW members have provided to the event, as well as the numerous corporate sponsors who made financial and in-kind contributions over the years. As we look forward to our future, we are proud of the 12 years of family fun that Kids’ Zoobilee created and the positive impact the event made on our community.
