Why Buy the Cow?

In case you fall in love with one of the bovines in La Jolla's Cow Parade (see below) and feel that you must have it, I have just learned that they will be auctioned at a fundraiser on Saturday, July 11 from 6pm - 10pm at the newly opened Robert Paine Scripps Forum at Scripps Institution for Oceanography. Proceeds will benefit The Zoological Society of San Diego and Rady Children’s Hospital.

Tickets for the event, priced at $150, went on sale today and are going fast. To get yours, go to http://www.cowparadelajolla.com/.

CowParade La Jolla is part of the world’s largest public art exhibition. CowParade has been held in 55 cities around the world since the first event in Chicago in 1999. More than 100 million people have attended CowParade events, which have raised more than $25 million for charities.

So get mooving and get your tickets.
