As we near the end of 2010, we look back at our fundraising projects and the outstanding community support we received for Clark Planetarium education programs. It makes us proud to receive generous support from so many great people who share our commitment to science education.
Through a partnership with Miller Motorsports Park, we held the first annual Racing to the Stars fundraiser this summer. The playful atmosphere combined with adrenaline-pumping activities at the Miller Motorsports Park left participants smiling, and netted over $49,000 for Clark Planetarium’s education programs.
We also changed things up a bit with the “We’re Going to Light up the Dark Side of the Moon” gala event in September, giving people the chance to don their best 1970s fashion for a groovy night under the stars while helping us raise $81,000 for our education programs.
Clark Planetarium is deeply grateful to all of the businesses and individuals who support our mission to create and present stimulating educational astronomy and space exploration in our community. With support from those listed below, we have been able to serve over 75,000 school children and teachers through our educational outreach programs this year.
