This year's ball honors representatives from GlaxoSmithKline as special guests for the company's unprecedented support of science education and Morehead Planetarium and Science Center. In recent years, GSK has supported "Magic Tree House Space Mission," "Destination: Space," Science in the Summer and other Morehead initiatives.

Proceeds from The Jupiter Ball will support installation of state-of-the-art planetarium technology and fellowships for deserving UNC undergraduate interns.

Each year, more than 175,000 children and adults experience the wonder of science at one of the state's great landmarks. As a supporter of the 2009 Jupiter Ball, you continue John Motley Morehead III's legacy of philanthropic support for an iconic North Carolina institution. With your support, the stars will shine a little brighter at Morehead all year round.
