How would you like to support the Community Observatory AND have a great meal at the same time?

The Community Observatory does not receive any public funds. We are supported by donations and fund-raising events. We will be sponsoring revenue sharing events with restaurants each third Tuesday of the month this summer. Our first one is on Tuesday, June 16th with Panda Express. We will receive 28% of the proceeds from sales on that date if you enter the code 9015719 in the Fundraiser Code box during online checkout at www.pandaexpress.com or via the app.

NOTE: You must order online, but you can stay and eat there, take it home, or have it delivered.
