Silent Auction is Underway!
In conjunction with the tourney, the public can also participate in a silent auction of rare sports and entertainment memorabilia, luxury vacations, exclusive experiences and more. The zoo also will auction off a few masterpieces painted by its resident animal artists. For the first time, Friends of the Zoo partnered with an auction house to offer rare autographed items from some of the world’s most famous sports and entertainment figures, said Friends of the Zoo Executive Director Carrie Large. Potential bidders can browse the online auction items using the button below.
A portion of the funds bid on some items will go toward consignment fees. All other proceeds will benefit the Rosamond Gifford Zoo’s missions of exceptional animal care, wildlife conservation, nature education and saving endangered species.
