Sippin' Safari

Now in its fourth year, Sippin' Safari is an annual fundraising event that benefits the education programs of the Greenville Zoo. Sponsored by BI-LO Charities, Sippin' Safari has raised more than $40, 000 for the Greenville Zoo educational programs such as Zoo Tots, Zoo Camps, the Zoomobile and other initiatives that teach about animals, conservation and the environment. In this video, viewers get a glipse of the food, fun, animals, and auctions during the fourth annual Sippin' Safari held September 11 at the Greenville Zoo in Greenville, SC. Viewers hear from friends of the Greenville Zoo Chair Mary Hipp, Greenville Zoo Education Curator Leanne White, Michelle Cannon of BI-LO , and Executive Director of BI-LO Charities Carol Browning, and see the Greenville Zoo's new giraffe exhibit made possible by the funds raised from the annual event. Sippin' Safari is an event designed to attract attendees that don't normally visit the zoo, such as young adults, and expose them to the exhibits, education programs and activities offered by the Greenville Zoo. Rated one of the best tourist attractions in South Carolina, the Greenville Zoo is the most visited family facility in the Upstate region of the state. Located in Cleveland Park, Zoo visitors also can enjoy the children's playground, picnic areas, walking paths and plenty of open green space.
