EcoBASH - A Fresh Air Affair

August 28, 2021 | 7p-11p

The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery proudly announces this year’s annual fundraiser, 
the Boonshoft EcoBash - A Fresh Air Affair, to be held on Saturday, August 28, 2021,
from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. 

The Boonshoft Bash is always an exciting, black-tie optional, one-night-only affair that 
gives patrons a chance to fund science education throughout the coming year.

The Bash theme this year is ecofriendly, and the Museum invites guests to join us in our 
commitment to become more aware of our responsibility for stewardship of the Earth. We
have made conscientious efforts in reducing our use of plastics, replacing lightbulbs with LED, 
turning off lights, adding composting for zoo waste, and planting raised bed gardens 
to grow fresh vegetables for our zoo animals. We are also increasing our recycling efforts, 
and we are seeking to add an environmentally friendly café! The café will offer healthy and quick 
food options along with STEM-oriented educational programming.

Celebrate the reopening and exciting future of this amazing Dayton learning center that offers 
STEM education for all ages. 
The Boonshoft is also home to an incredible collection of historical and live (animal) collections.

Live music will be provided by the popular band Velvet Crush!

**The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery is committed to keeping our visitors and staff healthy and safe. EcoBASH was designed with that in mind, and we are carefully monitoring the COVID recommendations to help prevent the spread of this illness. The event will take place both inside the museum and outside on the lawn with plenty of space to maintain proper social distancing. The indoor portion will be limited to half our normal numbers and staff will be required to wear masks. Guests are welcome to wear masks per their comfort level. We will continue to clean and sanitize our museum and update these recommendations as conditions change.
