A Night at the Museum

The International Women’s Air & Space Museum’s annual fundraiser gala has been reimagined for the museum’s 50th anniversary in 2026…. “A Night at the Museum” will be a dazzling evening for guests as icons of women’s air & space history intermingle with the crowd and engage in storytelling. Have you ever wanted to ask Sally Ride what it was like to be one of the first woman astronauts of NASA? Or find out who Amelia Earhart would name as her greatest rival? This is your chance. Skilled living historians will share the experiences of Amelia, Sally, and other fearless women on this unforgettable evening.

Plus, learn about the beginnings of the International Women’s Air & Space Museum from the women aviators who started it all. IWASM founders Doris Scott and Nancy Hopkins Tier (as portrayed by local living historians) will share the dream that prompted the founding of IWASM 50 years ago during the evening’s keynote presentation.

As you engage with history, enjoy a variety of local wines from CLE Urban Winery, Debonne Vineyards, and more. Sample the finest hors d’oeuvres, and peruse the silent auction and raffle featuring items from over 30 local businesses.

Proceeds from wine sales, silent auction, and raffle go directly back to the International Women’s Air & Space Museum, and help ensure that the museum’s mission of preserving and bringing women’s air and space history to life continues for 50 years (and more!) to come.
