Written by: developer
Have fantastic, futuristic Halloween fun while supporting the future education of Colorado's next generation of space scientists. Tickets are now on sale for the first Space & Science Fiction Halloween Ball at SciFiSprings.com. This volunteer fundraising event will be held at the Space Foundation world headquarters, 4425 Arrowswest Dr., Colorado Springs, Colo., on Saturday, Oct. 27, 6:30-11:30 p.m.
About the Event
Tickets are $20 per person advance, $25 at the door, and proceeds will fund scholarships for area teachers and students to participate in education programs at the Space Foundation Discovery Institute and the new Northrop Grumman Science Center. Proceeds from the cash bar and silent auction will also go directly to Space Foundation education programs.
The ticket price covers delicious food including heavy appetizers and out-of-this-world desserts.
This is a 21-and-over event and prizes will be awarded for best costume in a variety of categories, including a special prize for best-dressed couple.
The event also features DJ dance music, but if dancing isn't your thing, watch classic sci-fi films in the Space Foundation's "Area 51" while enjoying complimentary popcorn and beverages.
