Brimley Society
The Brimley Society, named after the founding fathers of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, celebrates the Museum’s remarkable success and its ambitious vision for the future. Proceeds from the Brimley Society sustain the Friends of the Museum's support for educational programs, research and exhibits.
Brimley Society members receive complimentary tickets to the annual Brimley Ball (this year it's the Brimley Bash) as well as invitations to other special donor events.
