Galaxy Gala
As guests registered for Galaxy Gala, they received table assignments on large (real) tropical leaves that complemented the tropical table décor created by White House Design Studio. The Feb. 8 event at Arizona Science Center had something for each of the 450 guests—a cocktail welcome, a delicious dinner catered by M Culinary Concepts and an after-party in Heritage Square Park.
But the star of the event was Victoria, the world’s largest touring T. rex, now on exhibition at the Center. The $450,000 raised during the evening benefit the STEM learning opportunities at the Science Center. Lori Reiman, Paige Heavey and Suzanne Hensing co-chaired the event.
