This year, gala guests will have the opportunity to explore the multi-level gallery spaces while immersing themselves in a magical storybook journey, including visits with a Lucky Dragon, a Giving Tree, and A Sidewalk That Never Ends. Gala proceeds will directly benefit high-impact programs like free field trips for Title I schools, county-wide community partnerships, free summer access for military families, and new social emotional learning and art curricula for elementary schools, allowing the museum's impact to reach beyond its physical walls. The evening will feature music, food, entertainment, art installations, a live auction, and more. Costumes, while optional, are a longtime hallmark of The New Children's Museum galas. thinkplaycreate.org/magical-treehouse Wine & Wishes Gala "Spark" OCTOBER 14 | FAIRMONT GRAND DEL MAR Join Make-A-Wish San Diego for an evening of inspiration as the organization celebrates the chapter's 40th anniversary during its Wine & Wishes Gala, "Spark," presented by PSSI.
