Southeastern Tile Connection's Support for Science at Asheville's Under the Stars Event

Celebrating a Decade of Discovery at Under the Stars

On November 6th, the Asheville Museum of Science (AMOS) hosted its special gala event, "Under the Stars: A Decade of Discovery," marking ten successful years of promoting hands-on science learning for families and children in Western North Carolina. This year's gala showcased significant partnerships, including the generous support from Southeastern Tile Connection, which stepped up as an Exploration Sponsor.

Located in Mills River, the Southeastern Tile Connection team believes strongly in the value of accessible education. Their involvement underscores a commitment to the belief that science education can ignite curiosity and inspire the next generation. The Under the Stars gala took place at the Highland Brewing Company Event Center, featuring a VIP reception followed by the main event. Guests were treated to an inspiring lineup that included a keynote address from former NASA astronaut John Casper, live music performed by Cloud Circuit, and delicious offerings from Daymakers Slider Bar. Also, attendees had the chance to participate in a premier auction, all aimed at supporting STEM initiatives.

Since its inception, AMOS has played a vital role in connecting children, families, and educators within its community through interactive science experiences. The gala recognized those who have contributed to the museum's growth and outlined an inspiring vision for its future. The funds raised during the event are set to bolster existing programs, helping to maintain interactive exhibits, subsidize field trips and outreach initiatives, ensure diverse museum access, and support dedicated educators in delivering quality STEM learning opportunities.

Leland Decker, Business Development Manager at Southeastern Tile Connection, expressed enthusiasm about being part of such a significant community event. He stated, "We are excited to support the Asheville Museum of Science and its vision for the future! Our team is proud to contribute to an organization that not only inspires curiosity but also fosters learning and enhances community engagement. We are optimistic about AMOS's continued growth and impactful contributions for generations to come."

This supportive spirit from local businesses helps to ensure that children across Western North Carolina have access to hands-on scientific learning experiences. The Southeastern Tile Connection has built a reputation for excellence in service among homeowners, builders, and designers. Their commitment to community service and educational outreach demonstrates how local businesses can contribute positively to society.

As the gala wrapped up, Southeastern Tile Connection extended congratulations to AMOS for its ten years of success and impactful work within the community. As we look ahead, the importance of continuing support for initiatives like these remains clear. Such efforts are crucial in creating a pathway for children to engage with science meaningfully, thereby preparing them for future challenges in an increasingly STEM-driven world.
