It’s on! In an entirely new and exciting way!

Well, we waited as long as we could to make a decision, hoping that we would be able to do an in-person event, but that’s just not in the cards for this year.

But rest assured, our planning committee and board have planned an exciting virtual event, that you can participate in from anywhere.

Now, more than ever, we need your help.

As you can imagine, the COVID-19 crisis has created a massive loss of revenue for the Friends of Zoo Boise budget. Through this summer, we anticipate these losses to be almost 50% of our annual revenue. 

We hope you can join Zoo Boise for the premier virtual event of the year. At ZoobileeOnLine, presented by Perkins Coie, guests will be treated to an unforgettable week culminating in an evening featuring an amazing live auction, silent auction, raffle, and special guests.

How will ZoobileeOnLine happen?

Well, let’s start with the best part- Zoobilee OnLine is free to attend! That’s right- you will need to sign up in order to bid on items and buy raffle tickets, but it is FREE to sign up.

The week leading up to ZoobileeOnLine, you can enjoy our AMAZING and uniqueonline silent auction and raffle for a fabulous electric bike. Don’t worry, we’ll send out detailed instructions on how to get set up for online bidding. 

Our very first online ZoobileeOnLine, presented by Perkins Coie, will be on Friday, August 28, 2020.This portion of the event will be livestreamed from 7-8 pm, so you can watch from your computer, smartphone, tablet, or smart TV. The livestream will be one hour or less, and this is the time where you can bid on some truly amazing, one-of-a-kind live auction items, as well as enjoy some VIP behind the scenes videos.

We encourage you to make it a party- invite a few friends over, dress in your best roarin’ 20’s inspired clothes, and join us from the comfort of your own backyard! Better yet, sign up for one of our amazing VIP Party in a Box packages, where we’ll deliver heavy appetizers and desserts from our amazing restaurant partners, mixers for our event's signature cocktail (liquor not provided), decorations, and more.
