The North Museum of Nature and Science invites supporters of STEM education, science, and nature to its eighth annual Cosmic Bash. The signature fundraiser will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 20, at the North Museum of Nature and Science, 400 College Ave., Lancaster, where guests will be entertained both in the museum and on the lawn of the Franklin & Marshall College campus. This year's theme is "Pennsylvania's Natural History."

Event design sponsor Atomic will lend its creativity to showcasing some of the North Museum's more than 350,000 collection objects and lighting up the night in harmony with the event's natural surroundings. Proceeds will benefit free and reduced-cost STEM education programs for children in central Pennsylvania. The event will include a silent auction, tapas-style dinner under an outdoor tent, and live auction of treasured items and experiences.
