“And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby.
You're cordially invited to celebrate a glitzy and glamorous party in The Great Gatsby style on Thursday, September 26th at the Moshulu (a historic giant vessel built in 1904). The drinks will be flowing at the open bar and just like at Gatsby's legendary fetes, anything goes and the party will last all night long. We encourage you to dress in your finest 20's attire and prepare for a night to remember. Tickets are limited and a portion of proceeds will benefit The Franklin Institute, which directly impacts public school students in getting access to science and learning experiences.
Tickets to this event will be sold out early, so get them fast.

PHILANTHROPY
The Franklin Institute is committed to bringing individuals from under-served neighborhoods into the museum and to bringing science to them in their own communities. Through the ACCESS program, the Institute provides deeply discounted admission to more than 200,000 schoolchildren each year, including nearly 25,000 students from the region’s Title I schools—such as every public school in Philadelphia—who are admitted at no cost. Many students and schools would not be able to take advantage of the tremendous educational resources available at the Institute without this discount, and on these field trips students are able to engage in hands-on science activities, directly experiencing lessons they may have previously only known through a textbook. GAPSA is committing a portion of ticket proceeds to the Franklin Institute for their aligned mission with the University of Pennsylvania in furthering educational advancement efforts in local community development.
