In 1930, Max Adler built the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere on Chicago's lakefront. His gift has delighted and inspired visitors ever since. It is a privilege to carry on this proud civic legacy with the Lift-Off! Campaign for Chicago's Space Center.

With your support, the Adler will inspire the next generation of explorers: We will empower young people to explore the sciences. We will reward hardworking teachers with a new depth of professional resources. We will encourage citizen scientists to make dramatic breakthroughs. And we will welcome families to feed their curiosity at the Adler.

This is Chicago. We are go for Lift-Off!
