Sunset at the Zoo 2008 Afterglow |
Sunset at the Zoo Afterglow
On Friday, June 20 over 1,900 of Metro Detroit's most stylish crowd turned out
for the area's "wildest" summer party, Sunset at the Zoo, presented by
General Motors and Saturn.
Whether dancing to the cool sounds of The
Jerry Ross Band, enjoying gourmet fare from Michigan's finest restaurants or
bidding on high-end prizes at the Sunset silent auction, this year's revelers
had a great time in support of the Detroit Zoo.
The VIP Reception
sponsored by JPMorgan Chase kicked off the festivities, and later, guests tried
their luck with "Sunset Keys" for prizes. The evening's highlights included
entertaining emcee work by Fox 2 News personalities Jackie Paige, Alan Lee and
Fanchon Stinger, exciting bidding during the Sunset live auction and delicious
Zoo-themed martinis.
We thank all of the incredibly generous sponsors,
restaurants and individuals who donated their time, talents and resources to
make this year's Sunset at the Zoo a great success!
