Matching Grant Challenge!

The matching grant has come to an end and all we can say is WOW and THANK YOU! Thanks to  your generous donations, we were able to raise over $7,000, which means more than $14,000 in funds for Akron Fossils & Science Center in 2018! We are so encouraged and thankful to have the funds to continue providing more hands-on, local science for the Akron community. THANK YOU!

If you missed the deadline for the matching grant challenge, but would still like to support Akron Fossils & Science Center in 2018, you can head over to our Supporter page to learn about all the ways you can join with us in our mission to provide fun science education to the community!

2017 Annual Auction & Benefit Dinner: Adventures in Candy Land

Saturday, November 4

Its nearly time for our annual spaghetti dinner and silent auction! This event is the largest, single fundraising event that helps us create new displays and continue with programming that brings quality, hands-on science to the community.

We have an extra sweet treat in store for auction goers this year- our 2017 Annual Auction and Benefit Dinner theme will be Candy Land! This year’s auction will feature all of the baskets, drawing, skits, and antics of years past with a sugary twist. Last year’s auction proved to be our most successful to date, with tickets selling out and with $12,000 raised in funds to help Akron Fossils & Science Center continue providing quality hands-on science education for the Akron/Copley community.

We hope you will join us on at Rittman United Methodist Church (located at 211 N Metzger Ave, Rittman OH) November 4^th to have fun and raise funds to support another year of local, hands-on science education. Doors open at 4:30pm!

Be sure to reserve tickets today for you and your family to join us on an Adventure in Candy Land!
