Sedgwick County Zoo completes its largest capital fundraising campaign

Sedgwick County Zoo officials said Tuesday it had completed its $15.1 million capital campaign that will pay for a new entryway and a new leopard exhibit. “All sectors of our community really came through for this effort,” said Sheryl Wohlford, chairperson of the Zoological Society board. “Trying to raise funds during a global pandemic was certainly a daunting challenge. But this community loves the zoo and values the impact it has on our region and the mission it upholds. We are most grateful.” It was the largest capital campaign in the zoo’s 50-year history.
