Today's Hours
10:00am - 5:00pm There’s always more to discover!
On Friday, April 26, The Discovery welcomed nearly 150 dedicated museum supporters to an event here at the museum designed to simply say, “thank you.” The event featured a one-of-a-kind performance by the incomparable Rhys Thomas of Science Circus.
At this first annual event, we provided small bites, drinks – for adults and kids – and we literally rolled out the red carpet to help our donors understand just how important they are to the success of the museum. We also bestowed awards to a few uniquely dedicated supporters. Those awards included:
Young Philanthropist of the Year
Ms. Logan Augdahl, for donating earnings from her lemonade stand AND being the youngest member (5 years-old) of the I Love Science Society – our monthly giving program.
Corporate Philanthropist of the Year
Dolan Auto Group, for hitting a milestone and donating cumulatively $100,000 to The Discovery supporting various programs including Camp Discovery.
Legacy Philanthropist of the Year
Gregory Nelson Estate and Frankie Sue Del Papa, for gifting The Discovery $1,000,000 to support capital projects.
Our thanks to everyone who attended this year and everyone who gives so generously to support The Discovery. Keep your eyes on your inbox for your invitation to next year’s donor appreciation event. We appreciate you!
