Fourth Annual Signature Event Goes Virtual to Benefit Florida Keys History and Discovery Foundation

Islamorada, FL – The Florida Keys History and Discovery Foundation is excited to announce plans for the fourth annual signature event in a reinvented fashion. While it won’t be A Night at the Museum, it will remain for the museum! The all-virtual fundraiser features two micro-events leading up the main event, A Night for the Museum: Together From Home, on Nov. 14, 2020, presented by Maryann & Jim Bokor. 

The first micro-fundraiser is Islamorada Brewery & Distillery Cocktail Class: Spirits from Still to Sip, on Thursday, Oct. 22, 6:30 p.m., when Larisa Baste talks spirit-making and shares how to craft three specialty cocktails. Advance registration is required by Tuesday, Oct. 13 via www.keysdiscovery.com/upcoming-events. Kits are available for a donation of $60 each.

The second micro-fundraiser is Wine Tasting with Sommelier Tom Smith, on Thursday, Nov. 5, 6:30 p.m. Join Smith in an educational tasting adventure featuring wines from six worldly regions as well as select charcuterie. Limited quantities available and advance registration is required by Thursday, Oct. 29 via www.keysdiscovery.com/upcoming-events. Kits are available for a donation of $75 each.

For the main event, A Night for the Museum: Together From Home, an entertaining virtual event will engage a broad audience through unlimited free participation. Guests can celebrate the Keys History & Discovery Center from the comfort of home and enjoy a program featuring exciting special guest appearances and a live virtual auction.

Guests can also support the Foundation through the purchase of upgraded tickets, which brings the gala experience to you, including a four-course gourmet meal, specialty cocktail, wine, and floral centerpiece (local pick-up only). Must be reserved no later than Friday, Nov. 6.

“While the museum grapples with pandemic-related reductions of once reliable revenue streams from admissions, memberships, program fees and retail sales,” Executive Director Jill Miranda Baker said, “this annual fundraiser, which last year raised nearly one-quarter of our operating budget, takes on added significance.”
