10th Anniversary Discovery Ball

Each year the California Science Center presents a major black-tie gala to commemorate the anniversary of its opening. On Saturday, March 15, 2008, the Discovery Ball took on added significance as the Science Center’s 10th Anniversary celebration.

The 2008 Discovery Ball was another record-breaking success, thanks in large measure to the tremendous leadership of Gala Co-Chairs Alan J. Fohrer (Southern California Edison) and Gregory L. Probert (Herbalife), who are pleased to report over $1.3 million dollars were raised! Proceeds help the Science Center to provide fun, memorable science learning experiences for 1.4 million children and families every year.

Our 800 guests enjoyed a truly revealing evening, including a sneak peek at the Phase II construction site featuring World of Ecology, private viewing of the blockbuster exhibition Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS 3 & The Story of the Heart: The Original Exhibition of Real Human Bodies, an elegant three-course seated dinner and an after-hours night club.

The gala has been dubbed “a virtual who’s who of the Los Angeles business community” by the Los Angeles Business Journal and named among Southern California’s Top 100 Events by BizBash. Click here to read the BizBash review of the gala.
