The RMSC 2026 Gala

Welcome to the 2026 Innovation Celebration, supporting the RMSC, and honoring Dr. Andre O. Hudson, Ph.D.!

The RMSC invites you to join us for a magical evening to support the RMSC. Your support opens the doors to a place where "I don't know" isn't a dead end but rather the key to adventure, opportunity, and learning! A place that creates a better world through inspiring curiosity, exploration, and engagement across history, science, culture, and the natural world.

Join us in celebrating our honoree, Dr. Andre O. Hudson, Ph.D., a local professor who embodies the RMSC's efforts to encourage lifelong learning in students of all ages and leads biochemical and microbiological research that advances understanding of microbial physiology, with important implications for public health.

Your ticket(s) get you access to the Museum & Science Center exhibits during the cocktail hour, a chance to browse our silent auction items in person and bid on the item(s) you want, network with local businesses, philanthropists, and museum members, and, for a small donation, win a bottle of wine valued anywhere from $3 to $150!
