Eighth annual Bucky Ball coming to San Bernardino County Museum May 13

The San Bernardino County Museum Association’s eighth annual Bucky Ball Gala will take place on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. The in-person gala will feature a final viewing of the exhibit Handle with Care: A Special Project of the MexiCali Biennial program, Land of Milk and Honey.

This year, the event will be held in the outdoor courtyard of the San Bernardino County Museum where guests will be able to reconnect and engage in conversations celebrating the Museum’s service to Inland Empire families and support for increasing the number of youth pursuing art and science education and careers. The event will include a social and live auction of unique items including jewelry, excursions, and more.

The 2023 Bucky Ball will also honor three regional partners with the Good Egg Award: Dawn Rowe, Chair of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, San Bernardino City Unified School District, and Inland Empire Community News. These awardees have been exceptional partners of the Association by supporting its efforts to assist the Museum in increasing their impact in our region.

Museum Director, David Myers, said, “We are grateful to benefit from the fundraising efforts of the San Bernardino County Museum Association. This long-standing partnership is a key part of the Museum’s ability to develop excellent exhibits and programming. I look forward to a successful 2023 Bucky Ball and thank all the donors that appreciate the meaningful service the Museum provides the community.”

Tickets are $150 per person, $125 for members. A table of ten can be purchased for $1,500 or $1,250 for members.
