Enjoy a strolling dinner, an open bar featuring signature cocktails and locally brewed beer, a silent auction, raffles and live 1920s-style jazz provided by Dr. Tommy Scott. Explore the universe in Schuele Planetarium, try your hand at a science experiment and meet the Center’s animal ambassadors throughout the evening.

The benefit will be preceded by a VIP Party beginning at 5:30 p.m. that will include hors d’oeuvres, an open bar, a fermentation lecture and more.
