Mad Scientist Ball
Add to My Planner

Sci-Port: Louisiana's Science Center
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Date: 03/20/2010 from 7:00pm to 11:59pm
Admission Fees: Starting at $100

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. On March 20, 2010, beginning at 7p.m., Sci-Port will pull out all of the stops for our biennial Mad Scientist Ball, one of the maddest events this town has ever seen.

Our scheming mad scientists will guide revelers through madhouse eccentricities, and the customs and cultures from all over this mad world. Lab assistants are concocting potions and recipes that are certain to entice madness throughout the night. The music to our madness will be hard to resist, as will the urge to spend money like mad at our silent auction. Additionally, in homage to the film from which we borrowed our theme, guests can participate in a madcap pursuit of cash and prizes!

One would have to be mad to miss this event, and we would have to be, well, mad to ask you to sponsor it in today's maddening times. . . so we're not. Instead of requesting sponsorships for a party, we would like to ask that our donors sponsor an upcoming exhibition or IMAX film. (Sponsors, help us choose the exhibit or film!) Additionally, contributors have the option of supporting Sci-Port's statewide traveling Science Carnival Outreach, field trips for students that incorporate programs to meet grade level expectations, as well as hands-on demonstrations to be enjoyed by visitors of all ages. A table to the ball, combined with other benefits, will naturally be included with the sponsorship. After all, there is a method to our madness.

Following this letter are descriptions of the sponsorship levels (ranging from $1,000 to $35,000), along with benefits and marketing opportunities, which will make an investment in science literacy for Louisiana.

The success of Sci-Port would not be possible without our generous donors, and we would like to thank you for your consideration of a sponsorship. It means the (mad) world to us.

Let the madness begin!

If you would like to become a sponsor for the ball, or for more information, please contact Jennifer McMenamin at (318) 424-8673 or jmcmen@sciport.org.
