The Big Swing! A FUN Raiser for Primates Incorporated

It’s THE party of the year to help care for our primate residents and open our doors to other monkeys in need of sanctuary. Eat, drink and be merry to help animals – what could be better!

With your generosity and support, our goal is to raise $50,000 for our monkey rehabilitation and refuge. Primates, Inc. provides lifelong loving care and sanctuary for monkeys who can be transitioned from research facilities, private ownerships, and the entertainment industry.

This year’s The Big Swing benefit will take place at the iconic East Side Business Club on Friday, September 16 with its stunning views, dance floor, and bar overlooking beautiful Lake Monona.

The evening will include a reception* and dinner with a delicious Wisconsin Friday night supper club menu by Just Veggiz, followed by a heartwarming program highlighting some of the life-saving work you make possible.

Afterwards, we’ll boogie to the music of Ladies Must Swing, a fabulous all-woman big band renown for great music and good times! Put on your dancing shoes or kick-back and enjoy a sunset beverage while tapping your toes to an outstanding performance.

We’re also excited to be offering a fabulous Silent Auction with many amazing items donated by area businesses and individuals. From animal art to spa treatments, you’ll find something you simply must have (and help the monkeys at the same time!)

Please join us!
