The 2010 Jupiter Ball is a gala benefit for Morehead Planetarium and Science Center supporting science education for North Carolina school children.

Morehead ignites a lifelong love of science in many children. However, educators are finding it increasingly difficult to bring their students to Morehead because of the ongoing budget crisis. To help these educators and students – many from the state’s hardest hit districts – proceeds from The Jupiter Ball will fund need-based scholarships for Morehead field trips and outreach visits.

Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will support a Jupiter Ball Fellow, an outstanding student employee selected each year to develop a special project sustaining Morehead’s Mission. We thank you for your generous support.
