During our live auction, you’ll have the chance to bid on exclusive experiences and prizes, including a trip to Italy and a wine fridge filled with Oregon’s finest vintages.
Our largest non-profit fundraising effort, every dollar donated at the Take Flight Gala goes toward Evergreen’s Innovation Fund.
These donations provide the rocket fuel for everything we do here—from restoring historic air and space craft, to improving our STEAM programming, to creating new exhibits that highlight the diverse voices within the aerospace community—your donation will impact every aspect of our Museum.
If you are interested in maximizing your impact, sponsorship opportunities are available until September 30, 2024.
