Dream Night is a special evening for chronically ill and disabled children to enjoy the Zoo with their families and
caregivers free of charge. This is the fourth annual Dreamnight at Franklin Park Zoo and the second annual Dreamnight
at Stone Zoo.
Dreamnight
guests have the opportunity to get a more intimate view of the Zoo than the average daytime visitors through zookeeper talks
and animal encounters. The evening will also feature activities, costumed characters, food and fun. Dreamnight is not open
to the general public. This event is strictly for invited children and their families.
- Dreamnight will be held at Stone
Zoo in Stoneham, MA on Saturday, August 23 from 5:30-8:00 p.m.
- Dreamnight
will be held at Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, MA on Sunday, August 24 from 5:30-8:00 p.m.
This year, Zoo New England
is pleased to be partnering with Muscular Dystrophy Association to present these events. Muscular Dystrophy Association is
a voluntary health agency - a dedicated partnership between scientists and concerned citizens aimed at conquering more than
40 forms of muscular dystrophy and related diseases (including ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease) that affect more than a
million Americans. MDA works to defeat neuromuscular diseases through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive medical
and community services, and far-reaching professional and public health education.
We hope that you will extend the invitation to participate
in Dreamnight at either location to your patients and their families. It is a truly wonderful event. Zoo New England would
be thrilled to provide registration information for either Franklin Park Zoo or Stone Zoo for you to distribute to families.
If you would like to participate, please contact me at 617-989-2015 or via e-mail at dreamnight@zoonewengland.com.
Doctors, Child Life Specialist, Nurses, etc., can also attend the Zoo New England event with
their families as well.
