About this Event
Charleston Fossil Adventures is hosting a 10th Anniversary Gala to celebrate and raise money for the Charleston Center for Paleontology!
While our daily operations focus on providing educational ecotours for the general public to find fossils unique to the SC Lowcountry, one of our main pillars is focusing on advancing scientific research. Over the past 10 years, we’ve maintained our status as the largest commercial donor of specimens to the Mace Brown Museum of Natural History. Notably, there have been numerous first records and new species documented here in Charleston, thanks to our client donations.
However, a fossil’s journey is not over once it reaches a museum. Once donated, a whole team of scientists must carefully uncover and preserve the specimen, and catalog all relevant data regarding its collection and provenance. This adds up to hundreds of hours, often spent on a single specimen. That’s why we’re partnering with a local 501(c)3 non-profit, the Charleston Center for Paleontology, which manages the Mace Brown Museum. All proceeds from the silent auction will go towards CCP’s mission to advance research and conservation in the Lowcountry.
During the gala, attendees will enjoy small bites, a taste of Tiburon (our beer collaboration with Indigo Reef Brewing), a silent auction, and an exclusive look at the Crab Bank Collection: a series of fossil displays highlighting the scientific significance of the closed bird sanctuary island. We’re also releasing never before seen footage from our first International Fossil Adventure! Join us on Friday December 11th from 6 - 9 PM at Indigo Reef Brewing.
Choose from regular admission tickets or tickets that include a $15 donation to CCP!
