12th Annual Natural Night Out!

This event is SOLD OUT! You may still support Thorne Nature Experience by making a gift of donation online. Thank you!

Join us for our 12th Annual Natural Night Out fundraising event on Friday, October 5th at the Boulder JCC. This year, we are excited to celebrate a momentous occasion, our founder Dr. Oak Thorne’s 90th birthday!! 

Come early for our VIP Cocktail Reception to make a birthday gift for Oak and to preview the fantastic silent auction before doors open. Cocktail attire is suggested.

250 guests, including supporters, local politicians, former & current Thorne program participants and families, and environmental leaders, will gather to celebrate our collective accomplishments, enjoy delicious food and beverages, bid on fabulous items in the silent auction, and wish Oak a very happy birthday! 

All proceeds from Natural Night Out will be used to fund the delivery of Thorne’s joyful, hands-on, place-based environmental education programs to underserved youth in the Boulder/Denver community. This year, Thorne will provide hands-on natural science education to more than 12,000 kids, with an emphasis placed on reaching Latino children and children from low-income families through our NATURE FOR ALL Initiative. 

Join us in celebrating Oak’s 90th birthday and ensuring NATURE FOR ALL in our community!
