Randall Oaks Zoo seeking tree sponsors for Winterfest

Help the Randall Oaks Zoo get into the holiday spirit by sponsoring a tree to be displayed during Winterfest, Dec. 4-5, 11-12, and 18-19.

Area businesses, organizations, and families are encouraged to take part in this unique sponsorship opportunity that directly helps the animals at Randall Oaks Zoo and its ongoing mission of conservation and education.

They are looking for local organizations and regional businesses to sponsor a holiday tree. Each group will decorate their tree, and it will be displayed during Winterfest, set amongst the holiday backdrop of Randall Oaks Zoo and Park in West Dundee.

Tree decorating takes place on Sunday and Monday, Nov. 28-29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with free admission to the zoo.

All tree sponsors receive:

• One lit tree to decorate;

• A customized sponsor sign acknowledging your group will be placed next to your tree;

• Recognition in the December Zoo newsletter and on the Randall Oaks Zoo Facebook page;

• Five free Zoo Winterfest admission tickets.

If you would like to sponsor a holiday tree, the sponsorship form and payment must be submitted by Wednesday, Nov. 17.

Your sponsorship will be seen by our event attendees and on social media posts. Your support will assist in achieving our ongoing mission of conservation and education. For more information or to sponsor, email Kath at kellinghausen@dtpd.org.
