Our inaugural Be a Kid Ball was a remarkable success! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised more than $322,000 to support transformative learning and play-based experiences at the Museum! We truly can’t thank you enough for helping to make this incredible achievement possible.

Special thanks to our co-chairs, sponsors, in-kind donors, adult and Playmaker kid volunteers, our guests and donors, and to every person and group who supported this event.
