H-E-B donated $3 million to the San Antonio Zoo on Monday in support of its master plan.
The money will support efforts to the first phase of the zoo’s Generation Zoo master plan, a multi-year effort that will transform amenities, animal habitats, and gathering areas. The plan includes a new entrance and plaza, the return of gorillas with a world-class habitat, and a 500-person capacity event center.
“As longtime supporters of the San Antonio Zoo, H-E-B is excited to be a part of this transformative effort,” said Winell Herron, Group Vice President of Public Affairs, Diversity, and Environmental Affairs. “We’re proud our gift will support the zoo’s vision to expand conservation and education opportunities while creating beautiful spaces that will continue to welcome families for generations to come.
“H-E-B’s extraordinary gift of $3 million to San Antonio Zoo is a truly transformational contribution,” San Antonio Zoo President & CEO Tim Morrow said. “This remarkable donation, one of the largest H-E-B has made in recent years, will empower the zoo to continue to grow and improve while creating inviting and accessible spaces for our community and visitors to enjoy.
