✨ Stargazer Gala Sponsorship Opportunities ✨
We are excited to embark on a Wild West adventure with you...Nantucket style. Saddle up for A Night at the MM Ranch and explore the Nantucket Frontier at our Annual Stargazer Gala, Thursday, July 24 at 6pm.
Savor a fireside feast crafted by Island Kitchen, sip on ranch water, rosé, and bourbon cocktails, and enjoy an evening of stargazing on the Nantucket Frontier. Then, kick up your boots and dance the night away at our honky-tonk, featuring live music by country music sensation and star of The Voice, Ben Allen.
Proceeds from this event will support our Summer Internship Program. This initiative has allowed us to host 900+ interns since it began in 1914. These interns continue the legacy of Maria Mitchell and her unwavering passion for creating opportunities for all to develop a life-long passion for science through education, research, and first-hand exploration of the sky, land, and sea of Nantucket Island.
