Play It Forward Annual Fundraiser

benefiting The Children’s Museum of Rochester, MN

Thank you to everyone that attended!

The 2024 Play It Forward Annual Fundraiser was a huge success. Thank you to everyone that came out in support of SPARK. We had a fun night of games, prizes, food and so much more.

What’s It All About?

Celebrate the impact SPARK has on our community with carnival-themed culinary delights and cocktails. Get your play on with music, carnival games, food trucks, photobooth, and prizes galore throughout the evening. 

The money we raise during Play It Forward supports a SPARK program called Play For All. This program helps cover free or reduced admissions for families who face financial barriers as well as supplies and props for our museum. With intentional outreach, coordinated programming, and many community partnerships, the Play For All program has grown by leaps and bounds. Play For All programming has increased by 1800% since we opened in 2020.

Enjoy the themed night dressed in black, red, and/or white!
