An unforgettable night of fantasy and fun at The New Children’s Museum
The New Children’s Museum will host their annual gala on Saturday, October 14, 2023 at their facilities located at 200 W. Island Avenue in downtown San Diego. This year’s theme, The Magical Treehouse, is inspired by the classic children’s book series of the same name and explores the imaginative power of art and literacy.
Known for fundraising events that are both playful and memorable, NCM’s annual gala supports its many access and impact programs, including its free or reduced admission program which benefits more than 30% of Museum visitors.
The event will be Chaired by longtime NCM supporter and Board member Wendi McKenna. “The importance of The New Children’s Museum in meeting the developmental, creative and community resource needs of San Diego children and families is critical,” McKenna shared with GB Magazine.
The Magical Treehouse promises an unforgettable night of fantasy and fun, with live performances, decadent food, and a silent and live auction that includes one-of-a-kind items like an on the field Padres experience, an African Safari eco experience, and the opportunity to have “Wonder Sound” artist Wes Bruce design your own magical treehouse at the location of your choice.
Gala attendees are invited to dress up as their favorite historical, literary or storybook character as they enjoy unlimited access to galleries and installations and immerse themselves in a magical storybook journey, including visits with a Luck Dragon, a Giving Tree, and a Sidewalk that NEVER Ends.
Do not miss this storybook evening. Experience the magic of the museum while helping provide access to arts, creativity, and play to children and families throughout San Diego.
