Chicago Children’s Museum believes that play is the right of every child. Research shows that play not only sparks joy but encourages the healthy development of children on multiple fronts: physical, social, emotional, and cognitive. Chicago Children’s Museum is uniquely equipped to build momentum for the future success of children in our communities. 

On November 3rd, 2023, Chicago Children’s Museum invites you to join us at Gala 2023: The Future is Play, a night of celebration supporting our vision of making a better world through play and joyful human connection for the children of today and tomorrow. With your support, this event raises vital funds that allow us to create extraordinary playful learning experiences for years to come.

Gala 2023: The Future is Play is a night of dining, dancing, live music, and an exploration of future possibilities for the museum, for the children and families we serve, and for the work we do in our Chicagoland community.
