Hey, Cool Cats!
This year's Gala "Grease Is The Word!"
was totally boss!
Because of the generosity of the nifty sponsors, the cool committee, the fab community partners, the keen volunteers, and our peachy guests, our 2019 Gala was a super, duper success! We were WOW-ed by the creative costumes, the party attitudes, and the competitive bidding for amazing auction items!
Each year, this important fundraiser directly supports our educational and cultural programming. This is what your support makes happen:
5,500 +
Students, Children & Families
inspired through interactive learning each
year by educational programming.
20 +
Authentic Structures
and 94 acres of Tidewater environment bring
our history and stories to life.
20,000 +
Visitors & Guests
are engaged and enriched by special events
and cultural presentations annually.
50,000 +
lbs. of Produce
donated to local food pantries for those in
need since 2013.
6+
years of Improved Environmental Stewardship
have decreased nutrient and sediment run-off
into our local waterways by 80%.
