Join us on Thursday, November 14 for a playful evening to raise funds and celebrate the work of the Cayton Children’s Museum! The Playmakers Gala—formerly Discovery Awards—is taking over Ahmanson Hall at the Skirball Cultural Center to honor visionaries, partners, and community leaders that are helping make our community a better place.
This year’s theme, “The Magic of Play,” will come alive with performers, activations, music, food, and libations for a whimsical evening you won’t soon forget. Funds raised will support the museum’s general operations and its PLAY4ALL access initiatives, which provide free museum access to low-income families, Title 1 Schools, and non-profit partners.

Can’t make it this year? You can still be a champion for play by purchasing a virtual package or making a donation.
