As the largest cultural and natural history center in the region, the museum plays a vital role in our children’s education. Named in honor of the science innovation of Buckminster Fuller, an engineer, poet, and environmentalist, the SBCM Foundation’s Bucky Ball event highlights the mission of the museum, as well as the museum’s iconic architectural dome, inspired by Fuller’s geodesic domes, and visible from Interstate 10 since 1974.

“This is our most important event of the year. The funds raised at the Bucky Ball provides vital resources for the museum and ensures they can meet the educational needs of our region,” said SBCM Foundation Executive Director Brandon Mulder.

Museum Director David Myers said, “This long-standing partnership is a key to the museum’s ability to develop excellent exhibits and programming. I look forward to the success of the 2025 Bucky Ball and thank all the donors in advance for their generous contributions which will allow us to continue providing rich and meaningful learning experiences to the residents of our County.”
