About OMSI Gala

Presented by
The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation / Jordan Schnitzer
Vernier Science Education
Jon V. Jaqua and Kimberly B. Cooper Fund of The Oregon Community Foundation
Saturday, May 4 | 5:30 PM at OMSI

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.
