The Children Museum of Manhattan
had its
Fall Gala on October 30th at
The Lighthouse located on Chelsea Piers
in Manhattan NYC
the evening started with a nice and elegant
cocktail hour full of surprises like fun raffles inside
of balloons like small children would have fun with
and other excitement prizes along the pre-dinner portion of the evening. Also there was an step and repeat for those
who wanted their picture taking including the
honorees and museum's board members.
Passing finger food for meat eaters and vegetarian-healthy
life style ones served by a very professional catering company, premium open bar for the whole evening!
The evening continue with a seating dinner and a program.
The Children Museum of Manhattan
had been around for many years keeping in mind that small ones need a place outside of the school, to learn and have fun at the same time making sure that is open for any child (and grown one) of any raze, any background and any nationality with a lots of entrance fee flexibility!
The Gala raise an amazing $1.33 Million Dollars!!!
The museum has several interesting programs including
the amazing and one/first of its kind to bring together mothers who are serving time at Rikers Island in NY
with their children to spend time together at the museum having fun and learn with each other
been apart is not easy and the bond between mother and children may be broken forever leading to a damage relationship that will be damage forever with no change to be restored.
And that is something The Children's Museum of Manhattan, took into consideration and with the kind collaboration of the first lady on NYC Chirlane McCray partnered with the Department of Correction to made this possible. The program was feature on CNN and NYTimes, for more info
