THE SETTING: With an evening of show-stopping surprises, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science’s annual fundraising gala, Night at the Museum, returned to action. It was an extravagant night of exploration and engaging experiences with an emphasis on science designed by Valdivia Ventures with innovative food activations by Wolfgang Puck Catering.
THE VIBE: The gala, raising $2 million that evening, successfully launched the organization into its next decade of education and inspiration. All proceeds from the event enable the Museum to expand its reach by providing scholarships and financial assistance to schools and families, making the venue more welcoming and inclusive.
THE NON-PROFIT: Longtime Perot Museum supporters Catalina Gonzalez and Santiago Jorba and Elizabeth and Kevin Phillips served as the event’s chairs. Located in the heart of Dallas, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science is a nonprofit educational and research organization dedicated to inspiring minds through nature and science. Visitors will find everything from dinosaurs to diamonds and space to sports, packed into five levels of hands-on discovery and adventure. Through its state-of-the-art exhibits, educational programming, and community outreach, the Museum offers exciting and innovative experiences for learners of all ages.
