More Than Just a Party, It’s a Purpose!

From live music and dancing to an exciting silent auction (bidding closes at 8 p.m.), every moment of the evening supports MOR’s mission to educate, inspire, and connect our community.

Proceeds from ticket sales, silent auction, raffle, and games will support the museum's Opening Doors Access Initiatives, which provide free admission, educational tours, and family memberships to over 30,000 schoolchildren and underserved Montanans each year.

Your gift opens hearts and minds by turning what could be a once-in-a-lifetime visit into a life-changing experience of wonder, learning, and belonging.
