Why Sponsor the Gala Under the Stars?
Gala Under the Stars is a one-of-a-kind evening at Hawthorn Hollow, held outdoors beneath the night sky alongside the iconic Heide Observatory dome. This immersive event blends science, nature, and celebration, creating a truly unforgettable experience for guests.
Attendees enjoy dinner, dessert, and a full bar while listening to live music, bidding in live auctions, and hands on rocket launches that bring the wonder of space to life. The observatory remains open throughout the evening, offering guided viewing opportunities that make the night especially memorable for space enthusiasts and curious minds alike.
Sponsoring Gala Under the Stars aligns your organization with innovation, education, and a unique community experience that can’t be replicated anywhere else, an evening where curiosity, connection, and the stars come together.
