Providence Children’s Museum will hold its 40th Anniversary Gala on Friday, October 13 at the Providence Biltmore, Providence, RI. Join us to celebrate the Museum’s past, present and future and share in the exciting vision for the Museum’s next 40 years!

This event will challenge museum supporters and community leaders to raise over $100,000 net in critical funding to support the Museum’s outreach efforts and programming including the purchase of charitable memberships for low-income families, the rich learning and play opportunities for children in need at Head Start preschools and urban after-school and summer camp programs, the Museum’s AmeriCorps team and Museums for All, the free admission program for families receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. This year, Providence Children’s Museum has been taking time to reflect on where we came from as an organization and connecting with those who helped get us there. We have been setting the scene for more innovative programming and partnerships and we would like to invite the community to take part in our journey forward and celebrating the essential role we all have in kids’ healthy development.

The evening will begin with cocktails at L’Apogee at 6:30 PM, followed by dinner in the Grand Ballroom at 8:00 PM and dancing to the sounds of Wayz and Means at 9:00 PM. Cocktail attire is requested. Complimentary valet parking provided.

Event sponsorships and ticket packages are available and going quickly. Individual tickets are $150 and sponsorships start at $500 for two tickets. All proceeds benefit Providence Children’s Museum.
