Many organizations have needed to pivot to stay afloat. Many events have either been canceled or have needed to be redesigned to take on the public health needs due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

The Racine Zoo has taken their Zoo Debut Gala virtual. The gala is an opportunity to raise funds to provide needed care to the animals at the zoo. Money also supports education programs and conservation programs too.

The event is set to take place on Saturday, Sep. 12, 2020 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.

The benefit to having the event be mostly virtual is, you can participate in the event, and still make a difference in your community by supporting the Racine Zoo.

On the night of the event there will be live music, various auctions, and even a Cocktail Creations demonstration showing everyone how to make a fun cocktail combination.
