Save the Date: PacSci Ignite Luncheon

A daytime event like none other—PacSci’s Ignite Luncheon gathers the region’s business, philanthropic, and civic leaders to celebrate the power of curiosity, and the innovators shaping our region’s future. More than an event, this is a moment for community leaders to come together in support of Pacific Science Center’s mission: to ignite curiosity in every child and fuel a passion for discovery, experimentation, and critical thinking in all of us.

As PacSci’s signature fundraising event of the year, the Ignite Luncheon offers a dynamic look at how PacSci sparks wonder for learners of all ages—and how your support helps make that impact possible. Your generosity fuels hands-on experiences, innovative programs, and outreach that open doors to science, creativity, and learning across our community. Join us to be inspired, to connect, and to help ignite the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and explorers.

Registration will be opening soon!

The Ignite Luncheon is free to attend, but registration is required. As PacSci’s biggest fundraising event of the year, we rely on the generosity of attendees to help us meet our fundraising goals and encourage guests to make a donation during the event. Donors contributing $500 or more will be recognized as members of PacSci’s Igniter Donor Society and receive a complimentary membership.
