Bean Automotive Group officially launched its new multi-year corporate partnership with Zoo Miami during their annual Feast with the Beast event held on Friday, March 6. As the zoo’s corporate automotive partner, Bean Automotive Group participated in the evening as one of the event’s featured supporters, making the formal start of the partnership while building on the company’s long standing support of Zoo Miami and its conservation efforts. The partnership connects Bean Automotive Group with several activations at the zoo throughout the year, including sponsorship of the zoo’s Safari Cycles and involvement in additional events such as Zoo Run and Zoo Lights.

Feast with the Beast welcomed approximately 1,500 guests for one of the zoo’s most anticipated annual events. The adults-only evening brought together members of the South Florida community for a night of food, drinks, and entertainment throughout the zoo. Guests enjoyed cuisine from a variety of Miami restaurants along with wine and spirits while exploring the zoo after hours. The event also gave attendees the opportunity to encounter animals throughout the park while live entertainment created a lively atmosphere. A silent auction was also held during the evening, allowing guests to bid on unique items and experiences while benefitting the Zoo Miami Foundation.

During the evening, Ron Magill recognized the ongoing support that Bean Automotive Group and Lori Bean have provided to the zoo. “We’re here with Lori Bean and Bean Automotive, one of the greatest supporters of the zoo. The vehicles they have donated have helped with things like wildlife rescue in Miami-Dade County. They truly believe in conservation. Lori Bean is one of the greatest conservationists we have, and we could never ask for better supporters.”

Feast with the Beast continues to be one of Zoo Miami’s signature events, bringing together community members, and supporters for an evening that highlights both the zoo and the organizations that help support its mission. Through this new partnership, Bean Automotive Group is proud to support Zoo Miami’s conservation efforts and community initiatives while continuing its longstanding commitment to giving back to South Florida.
