Oakland, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2015 -- **FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
Thursday, June 11, 2015

Oakland Zoo’s 23rd Annual Fundraiser, Walk in the Wild is on June 27, 2015, from 5:00pm – 10:00pm. The Private Patron Party will take place from 4:00pm – 6:00pm at Oakland Zoo’s Snow Building. Now in its twenty-third year, Walk in the Wild - An Epicurean Escapade! is a premier fundraising event.

***Media Advisory: If you plan on covering the Patron Party or Walk in the Wild event, please contact Nicky Mora, Senior Manager of Marketing/PR at (510) 632-9525, ext 130 or nmora(at)oaklandzoo(dot)org. We must have confirmation by Thursday, 6/25. All media must be listed on the event press list.***

More than 120 restaurants, caterers, bakeries, wineries, and breweries are onsite at Oakland Zoo – offering delicious samples of the San Francisco Bay Area’s finest food offerings (see vendor and libations list below). With each reservation, guests receive a commemorative wine glass and butler tray to try samples of superb culinary cuisine paired with fine wine, beer, and specialty drinks.

Reservations start at $150 per person. All proceeds from this adult-only engagement help Oakland Zoo provide the highest quality animal care and exhibits, supporting the protection of endangered species worldwide, and delivering impactful education programs that aim to inspire the next generation of conservation leaders. Visit oaklandzoo.org and click on Walk in the Wild for more information or to make reservations. Contact the Zoo directly at 510-632-9525 ext 154. Due to the service of alcohol, all guests must be 21 years of age or older.

Oakland Zoo’s Walk in the Wild event is sponsored by Taiwan, the Heart of Asia. Praised by The New York Times as the "island of green in Asia," Taiwan has been devoting tremendous efforts and resources into the development of Green Tourism. Nature and wildlife conservation is the driving force behind Taiwan's infrastructural development that links tourists to Taiwan's wilderness - the home to the world's highest concentration of butterfly and bird species as well as a protected habitat for the critically endangered Taiwan Formosan Black Bear and white dolphins. As an avid supporter of animal conservation, Taiwan Tourism Bureau San Francisco Office is extending their efforts in the U.S. through their collaboration with Oakland Zoo. Besides their contribution to our annual fundraiser, Taiwan Tourism Bureau's Oh!Bear mascot aka Moon bear, will greet guests during Walk in the Wild, along with an art installation of a giant Xiao Long Bao and Bubble Milk Tea in the Wayne and Gladys Valley Children's Zoo. Information about Green Tourism in Taiwan will also be available.

Private Pre-Event for Patrons and Sponsors:
4:00pm - 6:00pm: It’s a themed party, “California Dreaming,” in the Snow Building. Festivities will include special appearances from the Zoo’s animal ambassadors, live music, specialty cocktails, Zoo update from the President and CEO, Dr. Joel Parrott, and the opportunity to get a head start on the Walk in the Wild festivities. Honorary Host Liam Mayclem. Event by Dalton Fine, So Fine Event Design. Catering by La Bocca Fina.

Evening Activities:
5:00pm – 8:00pm: Wine and Dine on a walking safari through Oakland Zoo to discover some of the Bay Area’s finest epicurean offerings. The evening is filled with great company, animals, and live entertainment. This year’s performers will appeal to many musical tastes, including jazz, country, Latin rhythms, percussion, and hit songs from music of today.

8:00pm – 10:00pm: End the evening on a sweet note with dancing and dessert at sunset in Adventure Landing. Returning by popular demand, Take 2 (TK2) is dynamic 7-piece band covering chart toppers in Rock, Country, Hip Hop, R&B, and Pop.
