The Children's Museum of Phoenix's annual Gala returns on November 5th, 2022 with the new theme: Night at the Museum!

This event is our biggest fundraiser of the year and features a cocktail hour with various revenue generating games, dinner with a live auction and a dancing afterparty. It will take place again in our North Parking lot, spotlighting the beautiful historic building, from 6pm-11pm. 

All event proceeds support our Every Child program. The Every Child program was created to guarantee all children equitable access to the Museum and its hands-on learning experiences. To best address the diverse needs of lower-income families, the Children’s Museum of Phoenix’s Every Child program provides free and reduced-priced admission through:

1) Distribution of free passes to 70+ local nonprofits that serve at-risk children and their families

2) Free admission on the first Friday night of the month

3) Distribution of annual membership passes to families receiving WIC benefits

4) Special Night of Play for families of children with special needs

5) Reduced-price admission for field trips for Title I schools

6) Admission discounts for military service members, police, and firefighters and their children

Annually, Every Child reaches more than 50,000 individuals, almost 20% of our total attendance.

Thank you for the consideration in supporting the Museum and our Every Child Program!
