R*I*T*Z: Rendezvous In The Zoo® 2010
At the San Diego Zoo
A Night in Paradise
Saturday, June 19, 2010
The Zoo’s 2010 upscale, black-tie event is themed “A Night In Paradise.” This year’s gala will celebrate the 27th anniversary of R*I*T*Z and will take place under the stars at the San Diego Zoo on Saturday, June 19, 2010, from 7 p.m. to midnight. Highlights include lavish hors d’oeuvres, hosted cocktails, a silent auction, a gourmet dinner, conservation ambassador Joan Embery and animal friends, and dancing to the music of Wayne Foster Entertainment.
Co-chairs Jessie Knight and Joye Blount with some friendly macaws.
Since it began in 1984, R*I*T*Z has raised nearly $10 million for exhibits and facilities at the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park, as well as for conservation programs for the San Diego Zoo’s Institute for Conservation Research.
The event co-chairs—Joye Blount and Jessie Knight—along with their committee of more than 90 volunteers, are planning a magical party where guests can escape to a relaxing, elegant, and colorful tropical paradise for the evening. A Night In Paradise will create an affair that will be an unforgettable evening of dining and dancing.
Tickets are $450 per guest for general seating and $900 per guest for R*I*T*Z Paradise Circle preferred seating. Proceeds from A Night in Paradise will benefit the San Diego Zoo’s tropical conservation programs in Hawaii and the Caribbean.
Don’t wait to buy your tickets. Last year’s R*I*T*Z sold out quickly!
