Gala 2024

Play the Night Away Gala 2024

Saturday, September 7th  7-11pm



Help Northeast Ohio children bloom as we play the night away in support of CMC’s Wonder Fund! This fund allows the Museum to put down roots in our community, providing accessible admissions and free experiences to support children as they grow.


This exclusive after-hours experience will showcase your favorite destination for play in a whole new light. Tickets include an open bar with specialty cocktails, and a delicious strolling dinner featuring food from local restaurants in our neighborhood. 


Proceeds will benefit the Museum’s Wonder Fund, supporting our free and reduced admission access programs that ensure the magic of a CMC visit is within reach for every child.
