About the Mad Scientist Ball
The Mad Scientist Ball is the primary annual fundraising event benefiting the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History’s educational programs. Founded in 2004 by Fort Worth community leader Carter Martin, Mad Scientist Ball 7 is driven by a volunteer committee lead by event chairs Jill Chilcoat, Gloria Holmsten and Marsha Kleinheinz. “Expect the unexpected” has become the underlying idea behind the party, which has made it one of the most popular, sold-out events in Fort Worth. In preparation for the event, Museum galleries including the Noble Planetarium, will be closed Saturday, April 2, 2011. The Omni Theater will remain open for business throughout the day.
