Donor Groups
The John and Ingrid Werler Society
The Werler Society is a group of steadfast donors who choose to leave a personal legacy at the Houston Zoo and invest in our future by making gifts through their estates. After a concerted effort to engage and grow this group in recent years, we have identified millions of dollars in planned gifts that will contribute to the Zoo’s long-term financial stability. More importantly, The Werler Society allows us to connect with and thank these generous supporters. At an intimate breakfast event in November, Lee Ehmke, CEO, provided insider Zoo updates to our members. This was the first of many annual Werler Society events to come.
Asante Society’s Night at the Zoo
A combination of sublime weather, Ambassador Animals, and some of Houston’s finest restaurants made for a spectacular Night at the Zoo, the Asante Society’s annual foodie fête. At this special event, our loyal members reconnected with each other and received updates from Lee Ehmke on our Galápagos Islands exhibit construction progress.
Flock’s Beastly Brunch
Flock is flourishing! The Houston Zoo’s ever-growing donor club for young professionals held the 12th Annual Beastly Brunch in September. At the event celebrating the animals of the Zoo’s Pantanal habitat, guests sipped cocktails, met our zookeepers, and bid on one-of-a-kind items, like a painting by Tesoro, our male jaguar.
