LAST DAY TO DONATE!

We are so incredibly close to reaching our goal of bringing a new, mobile planetarium to Northwest Arkansas! What a wonderful fundraising campaign it has been. Although we had to cancel some of our events in the last couple weeks due to COVID-19 concerns, we still continue to make progress.

Thank you so much to all who have donated and supported us! Only 12 hours left! 🚀✨

Hello everyone! We've launching an incredible new crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for a brand new, mobile planetarium!

Our current planetarium is by-far our most requested event, but it is rapidly aging, and it cannot keep up with the new science that we learn daily. This is why we're raising funds for a new planetarium, as it will significantly increase our capabilities, accessibility, and scientific content that we can provide to our community.

Our campaign page is capitalprojects.uark.edu/planetarium and includes many more details about this mission, as well as information on rewards for backing at certain levels. We are accepting donations for sponsorships, meaning that your name could be projected in our dome before our outreach events. Any donations that you're able to make would be greatly appreciated, and sharing the campaign is also critical to its success. It is going extremely well right now, and we're hoping to overachieve and hit some higher goals. Hopefully we can continue to share exciting news as this campaign progresses, and we're looking forward to bringing more space science to Arkansas.
