For the past two decades, the Discovery Awards has paid tribute to some of the most respected and inspiring individuals in entertainment and philanthropy. This year, we are proud to honor our Board Chairman and longtime supporter of the Cayton, Carl Freed , along with our founder and the visionary behind the museum, Esther Netter , as she announces her retirement. We hope you will join us this November to celebrate the past and future of the institution! ABOUT TICKET PACKAGES & TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE Purchase Tickets → 2023 HONOREES HONORING OUR BOARD CHAIRPERSON CARL FREED AND CELEBRATING THE 35-YEAR LEGACY OF OUR FOUNDER ESTHER NETTER CARL FREED Read more Carl Freed has spent his entire career orchestrating innovative projects for some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. As Senior Vice-President of Business Development at Metropolitan Entertainment, he produced the Backstreet Boys’ first-ever U.S. arena/amphitheater tour in 1998; developed the super-successful “Up In Smoke” tour featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and Eminem; negotiated the largest webcast contract at that time for Woodstock 1999; and secured exclusive agreements with venues such as New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. He also established a corporate entertainment division for Metropolitan and led the company into the digital age by creating and overseeing www.concerthotline.com. In January 2003, launched Trevanna Entertainment, providing hands-on consulting, production, and promotional services for live entertainment events and brand partnerships. Project highlights include Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam at MetLife Stadium (the longest-running hip-hop radio show on the planet); the multi-year Red Bull Music Academy and Festival in NYC; and Sirius XM's Small Stages events, which showcase stadium-filling talent such as Paul McCartney, Metallica, Drake and Lady Gaga in intimate and historic venues like Harlem’s Apollo Theater. Carl is a senior consultant to S2BN, a global concert company operated by the legendary Michael Cohl, as well as the co-founder of a mentoring program at the Future Leadership Institute, a charter school in Harlem. He also proudly serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Cayton Children’s Museum. Carl splits his time between New York City and Los Angeles, where he shares a beautiful home with his wife Jennifer and dog, and eagerly awaits visits from his son Trevor and his daughter Savannah and her husband Noah Simon. ESTHER NETTER Read more As founder of the Cayton Children’s Museum and its beloved predecessor, the Zimmer Children’s Museum, Esther Netter has dedicated the last 35 years of her life to nurturing children into responsible, kind, and compassionate humans and building a better world. Her leadership and passion for uniting supporters, business leaders, community partners, artists, and youth around a shared vision helped grow the institution from a small 600-square-foot play space into Los Angeles’ preeminent children’s museum and one of the community’s leading innovators in early childhood education. Over her three-decade-long tenure, Esther’s accomplishments include the creation of museum programs like youTHink, a California arts youth education program that honed the power of art in schools to ignite social change, and Show and Tell, a notable multi-year initiative that brought together local artists to create themed community artworks. Esther’s early career in teen outreach in the public school system sparked her lifelong passion for engaging children, youth, and families through the creative arts. While she is so proud of the legacy she leaves as the founder of the Cayton, her biggest accomplishment in life is her family and the bonus family she has created with her partner Seth Schulweis. Esther is the proud Eema, Hebrew for mom, of Eli and her husband Oded, Moshe and his wife Desiree, Shira and her husband Omer and bonus kids, Miranda and her husband Joe, Sarah and her husband Sasha, and Aaron and his partner Allie; and Savta, Hebrew for grandma, to Noam, Shaya, Boaz, Eitan, Ilan, Maayan, and her bonus grandkids Reuben and Rafa. If life does imitate art, Esther looks to her family as proof—it was her children who inspired the Zimmer and her grandchildren who provided the vision for the Cayton.

You are creating opportunities for children of all backgrounds to learn and grow from and with one another. You are investing in the culture, health and well-being of our Los Angeles community. And you are advocating for equity and inclusiveness in play when it is needed most. Our development team can work with you to find a need within the organization that best speaks to you and your family, while exploring the most meaningful ways that we can acknowledge your support in the museum. To learn more about major gift opportunities, please contact: Carly Harrill, Chief Advancement Officer Phone: 424.416.8327 / Email: charrill@caytonmuseum.org Below are a number of ways you can make a major gift: 1 Support our General Operations When you make a gift to support our general operations, you give our leadership team the flexibility to use funds at our discretion, giving us greater capacity to respond to the ever-changing needs of our institution. Unrestricted gifts are critical to the stability and longevity of the organization by supporting not just one part of the organization—but all areas of the organization. 2 Sponsor a Program From public arts programming to early childhood initiatives to Cayton On-the-Go community programs, there are many programs at the Cayton in need of funding support. We can work with you to find a program that speaks to your interests or your family’s values for a lasting impact. Gifts can be made to go toward funding of a program or can underwrite all of a program’s costs for a year or multiple years. 3 Exhibit Underwriting & Naming Opportunities Leave a lasting legacy for your children, their children and our community by naming an exhibit or community space at the museum. Exhibit and space underwriting opportunities start at $100,000 and go up to $1M for Museum Exhibit Wing underwriting. All pledges can be made outright or over multiple years. As a major museum funder, you will be recognized for the lifetime of the museum on exhibit or wing signage as well as on a “blade of grass” in our Generosity Garden, which acknowledges our most significant donors. Funding Options We offer a number of ways you can structure your gift. When possible, we encourage donors to make their contribution outright to support our immediate needs, however we also provide the option of spreading out payment over multiple years to make larger commitments of $10,000 and above more feasible. Donors can also split up a pledge across multiple payment options, such as pairing a cash gift with a gift of stock to meet your desired donation amount. Donors can also choose to make a major pledge today that will be rendered at a later date that is mutually agreed-upon. Our development team will work with you to structure an option that meets your giving capacity while meeting the organization’s needs. Donor Acknowledgment At the Cayton, we acknowledge our major funders in creative, playful and significant ways. Annual donor acknowledgment opportunities start at gifts of $1,000 or more while larger gifts of $25,000 and above are recognized on signature art installations for the lifetime of the museum. Underwriters of exhibit and community spaces are acknowledged on exhibits and vibrant exhibit wing signage at each of the five core museum wings, in addition to the above opportunities. In 2021, we are introducing the Play for All Wall, a new art installation that will recognize all donors who make gifts of $2,500 and above in support of our Free Admission & Equity Initiative. Supporters will be acknowledged on a wooden tile that will increase in size based on the size of the gift.

CLICK HERE PHILANTHROPIC MEMBERSHIP Make The Gift Of Stock Make a gift of stock, securities or mutual fund shares is an impactful way to advocate for equity in play.

For instance, if you want to make a $25,000 gift but can only pay $10,000 in cash, you can pair your cash gift with a $15,000 gift in stock, or any combination. Helps Stretch Your Gift Making a gift of appreciated stock, bonds or mutual funds doesn’t only benefit the Cayton—it also helps you. For one, you will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities, and at the same time you may avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated stock. 7 How To Make Your Gift Step One: Donate Stock Please provide your broker with the following information: — Name of Account: Sharewell — Financial Institution: Pershing LLC — DTC Number: 0443 — For The Benefit Of: Cayton Children’s Museum — Account: A9G065576 — Tax ID: 20-1470992 Step Two: Notify Us We do not receive any information about the donor when stock or mutual funds are transferred to our account.
