Event co-chairs are Ellen and John Yates. Executive and auction committee members are Tony Brewer, Sandra Edwards, Ashley Heintz, Elizabeth Hood, Carli Huband, Kim Lyman, and Lia Santos.
“The Beastly Feast is a shining example of the longtime tradition of significant generosity shown to Zoo Atlanta by our community. The Zoo is at its most beautiful and inspiring, filled with friends and supporters of our mission,” Raymond B. King, president and CEO, said in a news release.
“We are deeply grateful to our Presenting Sponsor, Norfolk Southern, for their commitment to conservation, education, and community engagement.”
