Each year, Kaleideum hosts a spring fundraiser — the Kaleidoscope Ball — that supports critical operations and allows us to meet our mission of inspiring wonder, curiosity, and lifelong learning in children and the community. Funds raised through this annual event help us increase access, provide camp scholarships, enhance educational programs, and support hands-on learning experiences. In other words, ALL the things that make Kaleideum such a special place! 

 

Over the last year, Kaleideum has pivoted in how we serve our schools, families, and community. Our annual fundraiser was no exception! Rather than hosting our traditional Kaleidoscope Ball, we’ve thought outside the box (or should we say, inside the box) and presented Let’s Have a Ball! — a “party-in-a-box.” With it, we brought the BALL and the FUNdraiser directly to our community, so friends of Kaleideum could have a ball wherever they were, all while supporting the museum. 

 

While this year’s event was not our typical Kaleidoscope Ball, the funds raised through this — our largest annual fundraiser — are more critical than ever as we emerge from a challenging year.
