The event, called Puttin’ on the Ritz, is a black-tie fundraiser the Zoo society has held annually for the past 22 years.

Those who attend will get a chance to see amateur boxing bouts and participate in live and silent auctions.

Last year, the event raised more than $200,000. The cost to attend is $200 per person and $2,000 for a corporate table sponsorship. A limited number of ring-side corporate sponsorship tables are available for $3,000.

Puttin’ on the Ritz will begin with cocktails, Hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction at 6 p.m. Dinner will be served to coincide with a live auction at 7:30 p.m. and the three-round boxing bouts will begin at 8:30 p.m.

Money raised through the event and its live and silent auctions will support both the zoo society and the Milwaukee County Zoo.
