A Look Back at A Timeless Affair 2026

Held October 3 in honor of Teresa M. Finley, A Timeless Affair 2026 welcomed 370 guests and raised a record-breaking total of more than $1 million for Fernbank, including nearly $130,000 for the Museum Access Scholarship Fund.

The evening began with cocktails and live Irish music, followed by a seated dinner among the dinosaurs in the Great Hall. Silent and live auctions, a paddle raise benefiting the Museum Access Scholarship Fund, and live music and dancing rounded out the celebration.
