SATURDAY, MAY 2, 2026
Grab your gears and goggles, and glam up for Rhinebeck Science Foundation's Gala 2026! This year’s fantastical fundraiser is stepping into the vintage-futuristic world of STEAMpunk in support of bold, imaginative hands-on STEAM education in all 3 schools. We need your support to keep the engines turning and innovation humming for RCSD students.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible community and for investing in the future of education in Rhinebeck.
Together we can build something extraordinary!
