On November 2, 2023, we celebrated the joys of childhood with an evening inspired by imagination, play, and, of course, dreams!
The evening began with an elegant dinner in the Ronald Reagan Building to honor one of the Museum’s founding Trustees and former Board Chair, Dick Snowdon. Then, we continued the fun with a 21+ soirée in the Museum, featuring signature cocktails, culinary delights, dancing, music, exhibit play, and much more.
