SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is a request for support of the Pueblo Zoo in the amount of
$2,000 to sponsor the Zoofari on Friday, June 20, 2025 at 5 pm at the Pueblo Zoo.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council sponsored this event in 2024 for $1,500. In previous years, City Council

$2,000 to sponsor the Zoofari on Friday, June 20, 2025, at 5 pm at the Pueblo Zoo. Zoofari
is the most impactful fundraising opportunity for our zoo. As a sponsor, you offer a helping
hand in providing the care to our treasured 300 animals, inspire the future generations of
Pueblo through our outreach to almost every elementary school in the community, and
grant us the opportunity to provide an unforgettable experience for the 90,000 guests that
we get to connect with annually.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Payment of funds in the amount of $2,000 would be paid from the Council Contingencies
Account in the 2025 General Fund Budget to Pueblo Zoo.
