- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Please join us for an evening that sparkles with good company, great food, and plenty of bubbles as we Celebrate Play!

The night begins with a champagne cocktail in our signature shade of purple, passed hors d’oeuvres, games that make you feel like a kid again, and opportunities to take home fantastic prizes. Then, enjoy a multi-course dinner as we share stories of impact from The Iowa Children’s Museum.

Raise a glass of champagne with your table as we reach our fundraising goals, then join the excitement of the live and silent auctions. When the final bids are in, collect your winnings, savor one last sip, and celebrate what we’ve achieved together.

This event blends classy and casual with a black-and-white theme—dress it up in black tie or keep it simple in your favorite white tee and denim.

Your support helps fund exhibits, operations, and programs at The Iowa Children’s Museum, including ICM for Everyone, which provides free and reduced admission for families with financial need. Together, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to imagine, create, and discover through the Power of Play.
