Vernier Science Education
Every spring we gather to celebrate our combined efforts, and invite our community to continue investing in this exciting work during our annual Gala—the most important fundraising event we hold throughout the year. During this elegant soirée, attendees enjoy a sparkling cocktail hour, live music from local artists, an elegant dinner paired with regional wines, and receive an insider’s view of the people and programs that elevate OMSI as a leader of science education in our statewide community.

Sponsorship
The OMSI Gala is a crucial fundraising event for OMSI. By sponsoring the gala, companies can support our mission of making science education accessible to everyone, particularly those from underrepresented groups. Sponsoring the gala also provides your companies with an opportunity to align your brand with an institution that is at the forefront of science education in the community.
Transforming Familiar
As our world evolves, OMSI is transforming through collaboration and innovation. With our partners, we’re creating dynamic programs that inspire curiosity, creativity, and real-world solutions. Come together to celebrate the power of partnership in preparing the next generation for a future of limitless possibilities.
