Dear Museum Supporter:

We are pleased to announce that the 22nd Annual Air & Space Gala will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2025.

The Gala serves to provide much-needed support for the expansion of the museum’s historical preservation efforts and many educational programs. These programs include our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs at the middle and high school level, our STEM partnerships with elementary schools throughout the area, and our workforce development efforts with the aerospace industry. The Gala serves as an opportunity to honor the historical events and the accomplishments of leaders in the aerospace community.

Celebrating the Age of Airplanes

This year, we are celebrating the Age of Airplanes and are fortunate to have a uniquely qualified list of guests to help us mark the occasion. Our honored guests will include Roel Huinink, CEO of JFK Terminal Four, Steve Rowland, Executive Director of Terminal One, and Jane Bishop, Vice President and General Manager at Northrop Grumman.

Through your support, you can play a significant role in helping the Cradle remain a leading educational center for STEM on Long Island, and inspire the next generation of engineers, scientists, pilots, and astronauts.

Please join our efforts by becoming a dinner sponsor, buying tickets to the dinner, placing an ad in our tribute journal, or donating an auction item.

Online reservations have closed. Please call 516-572-4066 (Mon-Fri, 10-4) for any remaining availability.
