Annual Fundraiser Dinner 2026

Annual Fundraiser Dinner 2026
Join us on Saturday, June 6, 2026, for our Annual Fundraiser Dinner supporting our museum and many programs!
“Growing Our Garden” – An Enchanting Evening for the Museum of the Sierra
Step into a night of magic at our annual “Grow Our Garden” fundraiser dinner! Join fellow nature lovers and community friends as we celebrate the revival of the Sierra’s beloved botanical garden and trail. Originally planted in 2008 by devoted volunteers and guided by a local nursery, this garden is blossoming once again with your help.
Enjoy a whimsical evening of good food, laughter, and community spirit as we sow the seeds for educational pathways, native plantings, and a sustainable composting system. Your support will help create an ethno-botanical area where children and adults alike can discover the wonders of the Sierra Nevada Forest.
Together, we can grow more than a garden—we can grow curiosity, connection, and a love for our region’s unique natural beauty. Let’s make the Museum’s garden a place where everyone can wander, wonder, and bloom!
This year, our Annual Fundraiser Dinner proceeds benefit the expansion and enhancement of our beautiful botanical gardens and trails.
Help us further our mission by attending our Annual Fundraiser Dinner!
After delightful Hors d’oeuvres, the dinner begins with a vibrant garden salad of tender greens, red onions, cucumbers, candied walnuts, and dry bleu cheese, dressed in balsamic vinaigrette and accompanied by artisan rolls. For the entrée, guests will savor grilled garlic-and-herb chicken, braised beef finished with Marsala sauce, or a lovely vegetarian option, complemented by Parmesan garlic mashed potatoes and green beans Amandine.
Buy-It-Now desserts are available for $50 each on the evening of the event.
