2025 Fundraising Goal
The Makers’ Gala isn’t just an evening of elegance, it’s the spark behind something much bigger.
Welcome To the Makers' Gala
Building the Future of Creativity in the UC
Our community will gather to raise $50,000 to help UC Makerspace and Imagine Foundry secure a new home by July 2026. This new space will become a hub for hands-on learning, creative exploration, and opportunities that strengthen families, schools, and local businesses.
Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship pledged, and every auction bid pushes us closer to a permanent space designed for the Upper Cumberland to learn, make, and thrive
This funding will support:
- Securing and preparing a new, permanent home for UC Makerspace and Imagine Foundry.
- Expanding programs for kids, teens, adults, and emerging entrepreneurs.
- Creating a space where creativity, skill-building, and innovation are accessible to everyone
The Makers’ Gala is the cornerstone of that effort, a celebration that fuels real, lasting change.
Help Us Get there!
Why Giving Matters
This isn’t just about finding a building, it’s about creating a home where:
- Kids can explore hands-on learning
- Adults can discover new skills
- Makers and small creatives have the tools and support they need
- Families can connect through education and discovery
- The region benefits from a stronger creative and economic ecosystem
A permanent home means more access, opportunity, and community impact.
