Taking place at the Arizona Science Center, the annual celebration benefit event had a special guest: Victoria the T. rex.
The Arizona Science Center inspires girls to embrace science, technology, engineering and math through a variety of Girls in STEM programs. This initiative has been an ever-increasing priority for the Arizona Science Center since 2013.
The Galaxy Gala was charied by Lori Reiman; with vice-chair Paige Heavey and 2019 Past Chair Suzanne Hensing.
Victoria, the largest Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton touring the world, made her global debut at Arizona Science Center on Nov. 16, 2019.
Victoria the T. rex was officially announced to the scientific community as the second most complete T. rex skeleton on record, according to the Arizona Science Center. Initially unearthed outside Faith, South Dakota, in 2013, Victoria has undergone years of meticulous research and restoration in order to earn this claim.
Victoria’s completeness and unique pathologies have provided paleontologists with a wealth of insights into the species that will be studied for years to come.
