Once Upon a Tail, Kids Zoo Ball gives children the opportunity to help San Antonio Zoo in securing a future for wildlife. By participating in the Jungle Contest, children are supporting the zoo and its world-class animal care, education programs for all ages, and conservation initiatives locally and around the world. The boy and girl who raise the most funds will be crowned King and Queen of the Jungle. Runners up will join the Jungle Court. All fundraisers are eligible to earn “Milestone Prizes” and enjoy unique zoo experiences.
