Emerge: Butterfly Pavilion’s 26th Anniversary Celebration

Presented by BCR Companies

On October 1, 2021 Butterfly Pavilion welcomed 250 guests to EMERGE: Butterfly Pavilion’s 26th Anniversary Celebration. The event was a tremendous success, with sold-out seating, amazing support from our sponsors and a wonderful collection of auction items. In fact, it was the most successful gala in Butterfly Pavilion’s history! With the incredible support from our community of donors, sponsors, and friends of Butterfly Pavilion, together, we raised more than $250,000 for invertebrate conservation, research and education in Colorado, and around the world.

EMERGE was also an opportunity to share the progress we have been making behind the scenes on the campaign for the new Butterfly Pavilion. We are excited for the emergence of our new facility, opening in 2025! This event wouldn’t be possible without our generous sponsors and donors. Butterfly Pavilion and the tiny giants around the globe thank you!
