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.

Thank You to our 2024 Sponsors!
