Throwback to Yelp’s Creatures of the Night event a few weeks ago, where an incredible $12,500 was raised to support the nonprofit Friends of the Santa Ana Zoo
It was an unforgettable evening filled with delicious food, amazing drinks, and a whole lot of fun—all for a great cause. A huge thank you to everyone who supported this event and made a difference for the animals and the zoo we all love. 💛
