The 50th Anniversary Dreamer’s Gala will celebrate the impact of the Museum’s first half-century and launch the institution into its next bold chapter. The event will bring together individual and corporate supporters, public officials, and leaders in Washington’s business and cultural communities who share a commitment to the Museum’s mission to inspire children to care about and change the world. 

The Dreamer’s Gala will raise support as the Museum continues its critical work to spark curiosity, ignite creativity, and foster inclusivity to empower the next generation of innovators.

During the Gala, an elegant dinner will be held in the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium honoring individuals who have significantly contributed to elevating the power of play, followed by an after party in the Museum featuring signature cocktails, culinary delights, dancing, music, and opportunities to channel our inner child.
