Mayfly: Our Annual Fundraising Event
Join us for Mayfly, an evening to remember!
This year's Mayfly event will take place on Thursday, May 30, 2019, 5:30-9 pm, on the
beautiful grounds of the Leslie Science & Nature Center - 1831 Traver Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105.
Mayfly welcomes members of our community, like you, to come together supporting our mission of educating and inspiring children and adults to discover, understand, and respect their natural environment. Last year, thanks in large part to funds raised at Mayfly, we served over 60,000 people through our on-site and off-site programs and reached students and families in Washtenaw, Monroe, Lenawee, Macomb, Oakland, Wayne, Ingham, Jackson, and Livingston counties in Southeastern Michigan.
Join us for this upscale evening on the LSNC grounds to savor delicious food, drinks, and the wonderful evening air in our beautiful outdoor setting. Hear personal stories reflecting the impact of our work, and enjoy an opportunity to connect with like-minded community members.
Admission: $125.00 - Individual Ticket $1,000 - Host a Table (up to 10 tickets)
Optional add-on this year: We are offering a Parents' Night Out Ticket Option (purchasable when you register for Mayfly)! Delight in a night out while your kids enjoy dinner and a fun evening at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum.
Silent Auction: We will have an array of wonderful and unique local items for our silent auction!
Please contact our Main Office at 734-997-1553, or info@lesliesnc.org with any questions.

Did you know? In 2016, Mayfly was piloted as a Zero Waste event with the help of Recycle Ann Arbor, Angel Food Catering, and Leslie Science & Nature Center staff. The event was a Zero Waste success with 97% of the event waste being diverted from the landfill. Only 1.8 lbs of trash was created for the entire event! We take the commitment of Zero Waste practices, resource management, and landfill diversion seriously, which is why MayFly will again be Zero Waste this year.

Come to terms with nature
Now I truly believe that we in this generation must come to terms with nature, and I think we're challenged, as mankind has never been challenged before, to prove our maturity and our mastery, not of nature but of ourselves. — Rachel Carson
