There were alligators aplenty at the Audubon Zoo this year for the Whitney Zoo To Do 2014 on Friday, May 2, 2014. This year’s event celebrated the Zoo’s newest attraction, Gator Run, their Lazy River. Starting in 1972, the Zoo To Do is now one the largest non-medical fundraisers in the United States.
Because of this fundraiser, today the Audubon Zoo is positioned as one of the top zoological parks in the country. This year’s soiree exceeded all expectations making it one of the premier parties of the social scene. After getting a glass of champagne, guests entered through the front gate adorned with Cajun shacks, large three dimensional alligators, rustic nets and sparkling LED lights to give the illusion of fireflies designed and created by ACCENT of Arrangements. The Lafourche Cajun trio played perfectly to set the tone for the night.
Beautiful models in custom couture costumes as an alligator and shrimp courtesy of Paperdoll Promotions posed with guests. An array of bars and restaurants lined the entire facility from the Cooper Plaza to the Hygeia Fountain and Odenheimer Sea Lion Pool. The entire park was lit up by colorful LED lighting provided by Pyramid Audio. Luis Colmenares had some of the most gorgeous metal sculptures in the front fountain with the majestic elephant sculpture at Cooper Plaza. His alligator, stork and otters were inspired. Sasha Masakowski was stunning on the stage in this area. But there were plenty of opportunities to donate to the Zoo either in their noteworthy silent auction or the popular Lexus raffle. Could you imagine driving away from the night in a brand new Lexus!
The VIP tent was gorgeously decorated by some of the best floral designers and linen companies in the city. The chandeliers in the tents were breathtaking. Other elegant lighting and chandeliers thanks to Luminous Events were pinpointed in many spots like Hygeia Fountain. The featured entertainment on the main stage was the Brass-A-Holics followed by Party On The Moon, a fabulous dance band out of Atlanta. They kept the dance floor crowded every moment they were on the stage. Their high energy was the crowning touch of the night. The weather cooperated perfectly to provide the attendees with a memorable and spectacular evening of entertainment and merriment.
