Zoofari is a crucial fundraising event held annually by the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. Even though the format changed this year from an exclusive event for 2,000 guests at the Zoo to a virtual one, the ability to invite an unlimited number of people to participate contributed to its success. The 2020 event has exceeded expectations by raising more than $650,000 for the Zoo.
Sponsored by Western & Southern Financial Group and Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Zoofari was co-hosted by WKRC-TV’s Bob Herzog and Zoo Director Thane Maynard. It featured animals, celebrities and unique silent auction items. Western & Southern Chairman, President and CEO John Barrett also made a guest appearance. Leading up to Zoofari, Western & Southern sponsored a Home Safari on Facebook that garnered more than 62,000 views.
