WonderLab builds curious and creative problem solvers, inspired by the wonder of science, who will shape a brighter future for themselves and our world. The annual Gala, Science Night Out, raises critical funds for hands-on science programs and exhibits, and also for free group admissions for Title I schools and social service organizations, including CASA, Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and more. This same fund also subsidizes admission for families with low incomes.

Every year, the auction is a highlight of WonderLab's Gala, where 300+ philanthropists, scientists, and business leaders support the next year of accessible hands-on science for kids of all ages in our community.

Donated items will be displayed at the event, as well as online, with a detailed description and photos. Guests will begin to browse the thoughtfully curated, themed auction when the preview goes live on the event website a week before the event.

The theme for this year's Science Night Out is SCIENCE ROCKS! The Gala will feature all things geology, with fossils, geodes, gems, and of course, Indiana limestone.
