Please join us on October 22 from 7 to 7:30 pm for spectrUM's virtual Big Night, which raises funds to help ensure that all children in our community can access inspirational role models and hands-on STEM experiences.

With proceeds from Big Night, spectrUM's Science for All Fund supports free K-12 field trips, pop-up science events at communities across western Montana, camp scholarships, and programming at EmPower Place at Missoula Food Bank & Community Center. During the pandemic, spectrUM has distributed over 5,000 free science kits for students to continue learning and exploring at home.

This year's virtual event will include a celebration of spectrUM's impact, door prizes, and a showcase of our live auction emceed as always by Mayor John Engen. Auction bidding has already opened, and you do not need to be present at the virtual event on Oct. 22 to win an item.

You can learn more, buy tickets, and bid on auction items at spectrum.umt.edu. I hope you can take part in this fun, high-impact event.
