Welcome
Thank you for joining us for our 40th annual Whirl!
On behalf of the Women’s Board and the Board of Trustees
of the Chicago Zoological Society, we welcome you to this
special evening of celebration. In the midst of what can only
be considered as another unusual year, we are grateful for the
opportunity to highlight the many milestones of the Chicago
Zoological Society over the past 100 years.
With contributions from friends like you, the Society can
continue to inspire conservation leadership, engage our
communities, and restore wildlife populations and people’s
connections to nature. We are so thankful for your unwavering support of the Society during these unprecedented
times, especially since we once again had to transition our Whirl gala to a virtual format.
We would like to especially thank Sasha Gerritson, President of the Women’s Board, along with President & CEO
Dr. Stuart D. Strahl, and the Board of Trustees, led by Chairman John P. Grube—all of whom were instrumental in
helping us produce this virtual event.
Please enjoy the Virtu-Whirl!

Welcome
Thank you for participating in our 40th annual Whirl. We extend our gratitude and congratulations to Melissa
and Michael Canning, our wonderful co-chairs of this celebration. We share our thanks to the members of the
Women’s Board and Whirl Planning Committee, for their work in organizing this virtual event. For a century, the
Chicago Zoological Society has played a leading role in conservation and animal care and has advanced innovative
approaches that forge an emotional connection of people and communities to wildlife and nature.
The past year has presented many challenges for the Chicago Zoological Society and Brookfield Zoo. As we reflect
on the past 100 years of the Society, we’re reminded of the many obstacles we’ve previously faced. We have
continued this legacy of perseverance through the support of our CZS family. We look forward to celebrating the
hard work of our staff, and the generosity of our donors, during this virtual event. Your support helps ensure the
continuation of our conservation work around the globe, our education programs close to home, and the best
possible care for the animals at Brookfield Zoo.
We are grateful for your continued generosity and commitment to the Chicago Zoological Society.
We look forward to having you join us for a wonderful Virtu-Whirl.
Sincerely,
Stuart D. Strahl, Ph.D.
