About OMSI Gala
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
When you sponsor OMSI’s gala, you demonstrate an alignment with our values, a commitment to our success, and your belief in our ability to positively affect the lives of many. As a sponsor, you join as a partner in our work, and our impact becomes yours. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and highlight your support to our community.
We have a limited number of tables and seats at the 2024 Gala, please see our Sponsorship Book or contact our Development team for more information.
Thank you!
Together we raised over one million dollars for OMSI and Science Education! We look forward to seeing you at Gala 2024.
