Twilight Gala

2022 Twilight Gala Chairs Neil and Deepa Verma would like to invite you to attend our 27th Annual Twilight Gala: Back to Mother Nature, a garden gala benefiting the Nature Discovery Center.

This year brings gala glamour back to nature on Friday, May 6 – a perfect date to celebrate mothers and nature. We expect more than 200 guests to join us for dinner, dancing, a silent auction, a glorious setting surrounded by springtime flowers and foliage, and even some wildlife watching as the eastern screech owls raise their springtime broods. Guests can even pick up a special something for the moms in their lives at the wine pull or flower cart.

Though Russ Pitman Park is a city park, it is your community support that allows Nature Discovery Center to steward four acres of native Texas plants and animals, provide its animal ambassadors the best possible care, and offer our community free public events like Spring Fling.

Please consider supporting the Center by attending this year’s gala.
