Saturday September 28, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The Charles and Kathryn Heide Observatory at Hawthorn Hollow Nature Sanctuary and Arboretum invites you to attend a fundraising gala to support the continuing mission of the observatory—to connect members of our community with the universe through observing and studying the sky.
Each ticket you purchase secures a spot for yourself or your companion(s) to celebrate our ongoing work through the sky while enjoying hors d’oeuvres during the retreat of the night’s twilight.
At this gala, you can:
- Mix and mingle with other observatory supporters
- Learn about the history, activities, and future plans for the observatory
- Pledge to support the observatory in its mission through direct contribution and/or participation in a raffle
- Enjoy the night’s stars coming out and peer into the distant universe through the existing telescope at planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies (weather permitting)
Reserve your tickets here.
For group rates of ten or more, or if you have any questions or need more information, please contact us at observatory@hawthornhollow.org
