Join us at 6:00pm on Saturday, November 1st, 2025 in the East Pavilion at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, OR. This fundraiser for science will include a wine wall, raffle, and auction full of offerings from our sponsors and community.

The Starry Nights Gala is a black tie event, and a sit-down dinner will be served to all attendees, along with wine and cocktails. During the event, we'll be offering tours of an incredible inflatable Planetarium from [UNIVERSITY NAME], a truly unique experience you won't want to miss! 

All funds raised at the gala go toward the Carlton Observatory Project, a 501c3 organization dedicated to fostering an engaged, imaginative and scientifically literate community. Our goal is to create a multi-use facility that features interactive experiences, including an observatory and planetarium. The space will encourage and inspire students, parents, educators, and visitors to learn, celebrate, and experience science in a whole new way.
