Be our guest at the Reading Science Center’s 5th annual fundraiser, now reimagined as the Mad Science Experiment! Formerly known as the Whiskey Experiment, this event brings together the best elements of our first four fundraisers with exciting new additions. Guests will enjoy sampling a variety of whiskeys, spirits, and wines from local distilleries and vineyards, with the opportunity to purchase bottles to take home. Our event will also feature a delectable selection of light food, and a silent auction filled with incredible items. For those seeking a VIP experience, our exclusive lounge offers upscale cocktails, desserts, and coffee, providing a perfect setting for networking and relaxation. 

 

This year, we are introducing the Silly Science Olympics! Sponsored teams of four will compete in engaging STEM challenges throughout the evening, adding a fun and competitive edge to the festivities. 

 

The Mad Science Experiment is our largest fundraiser of the year, crucial for supporting the Reading Science Center’s mission to ignite a passion for science in our community. Your attendance and participation will help us continue to provide hands-on, educational experiences to children and families throughout Berks County.
