Night Sky Gala
An evening celebrating hope, honoring those impacted, and investing in the future of research.
About the evening
The Night Sky Gala is Sky Foundation’s premier fundraising event, bringing together hundreds of supporters for an inspiring evening celebrating hope, honoring those impacted by pancreatic cancer, and investing in the future of research.
Every dollar raised helps fund innovative seed grants focused on early detection, prevention, treatment, and ultimately a cure. Guests hear directly from the scientists their support funds — researchers whose Sky seed grants have gone on to secure major national funding.
Proceeds fund seed grants — the $50,000 starting awards that let a scientist turn an idea into a project competitive for national funding.
