THE BOEING COMPANY AND BROWN BEAR CAR WASH PRESENT 38th ANNUAL FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014 WELCOME TO WOODLAND Park Zoo’s 38th ANNUAL JUNGLE PARTY “CARNAVAL: RHYTHM OF THE RAIN Forest” FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014 WOODLAND PARK ZOO, NORTH MEADOW J. A. McGraw The funds generated this evening will support wildlife conservation initiatives, engaging education and zoo outreach programs, new animal exhibits and exemplary animal care. 1 Our Mission and Vision WOODLAND PARK ZOO SAVES ANIMALS AND THEIR HABITATS THROUGH CONSERVATION LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGING EXPERIENCES, INSPIRING PEOPLE TO LEARN, CARE AND ACT. For some animals, zoos may be their only chance for survival. For some children, zoos may be their only opportunity to see animals in natural settings. As our society becomes further separated from nature, zoos are poised to teach visitors about wildlife and, in turn, spark a commitment to help preserve animals in the wild and their natural habitats. Animals and plants live their lives as increasingly interdependent. Worldwide, over 1,400 plants and animal species are now designated as endangered and face the threat of extinction. Human population growth and habitat destruction have escalated the extinction rate to one or more species a day.* It is only through better public understanding of the fragility of our natural systems – and the impact of human beings upon them – that there is hope to shape attitudes, make emotional connections and change behaviors that can positively impact wildlife conservation. Please help us create a sustainable future for wildlife. It is your donation that will enable Woodland Park Zoo to maintain and even raise its level of excellence in exhibit design, education, wildlife conservation, animal care and horticulture. * Statistic from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2 From the Jungle Party Chairs Welcome to the year’s wildest party! Thanks for joining us at Woodland Park Zoo’s 38th annual Jungle Party as we and our corporate co-title sponsors, The Boeing Company and Brown Bear Car Wash, present: Carnaval: Rhythm of the Rain Forest. We know it’s going to be one unforgettable night as we celebrate the pudu – along with ALL its South American brethren – while we generously support a world-class institution that has been near and dear to us for well over a decade. This is why we’re excited to announce Care, Connect, Conserve as this year’s Fund-Our-Future focus. By raising your paddle high during the live auction, you can join us in creating future funds for both our Living Northwest conservation program as well as our presentation animal programming – geared toward creating awe-inspiring, up-close animal experiences for kids. Of course, this memorable night wouldn’t be possible if not for the personal commitment and enthusiasm of the 300+ volunteers, staff and executive committee members. We are in awe. Though, we’d also be remiss to not call out the zoo’s gifted leader, Dr. Deborah Jensen, President and CEO, as well as the zoo’s biggest cheerleader and Board Chair, Nancy Pellegrino. And we’d like to raise a glass to the perpetual passion and enthusiasm of this year’s Honorary Chairs, Dave and Chris Towne. Most of all, we’d like to thank YOU for your continued support in ensuring Woodland Park Zoo enriches and delights kids of all ages. We could go on and on...but the pudu would like its time in the spotlight. Have a fantastic evening! Jill and Scott Walker Chairs, 38th Annual Jungle Party 3 From the WPZ Board Chair Dear 2014 Jungle Party Guests, As Chair of the Woodland Park Zoo Board of Directors, it is my distinct honor to welcome you to our 38th annual Jungle Party – Carnaval: Rhythm of the Rain Forest. Each and every year we are overjoyed to see so many community leaders and friends come together to celebrate – and perpetuate – the roaring success of our beloved zoo. Along with over 1,100 animal ambassadors who call the zoo home, we all are excited and honored to be part of the zoo’s extraordinary mission. This year, we have been delighted to have Jill and Scott Walker serve as the 2014 Jungle Party Chairs. The commitment and generosity of Jungle Party Chairs is always incredible, and Jill and Scott are certainly no exception. Loyal Jungle Party attendees for the last 10 years, their dedication to this institution has been phenomenal, and it has been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with them to produce this iconic zoo event. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to Dave and Chris Towne, 2014 Honorary Chairs. We cannot thank them enough for their years of service and unwavering dedication to the mission of our zoo: saving animals and their habitats through conservation leadership and engaging experiences, inspiring people to learn, care and act. I also wish to thank my fellow board members, whose deep commitment to our zoo is evident throughout the year and under this tent tonight. Their thoughtful leadership and stewardship of this world-class zoo is central to the impact of our mission every day. Tonight, I toast you for a job well done all year! Finally, I want to thank our many generous guests joining us tonight. Many of you return year after year, not just to enjoy a festive evening, but because you understand how the zoo connects people to wildlife, inspiring action here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and around the world. Because of YOU and your support on this special evening, our zoo is the wonderful and vibrant place that it is today! Have fun. Bid high and often. And know that your gift to Woodland Park Zoo is a gift that truly makes an impact for all animals here at the zoo and in the wild.
