Imagination Ball | 50 Years of Fun: The Next Chapter

The Please Touch Museum’s annual gala, Imagination Ball, returns on October 22nd to celebrate the Museum’s 50th birthday. During the evening, the Museum will honor two legendary leaders of the Museum: Portia Sperr, the founder of Please Touch Museum, and Nancy Kolb, its President and CEO from 1988–2008 and a driving force behind the Museum’s move to Memorial Hall.
Proceeds from the Imagination Ball will benefit the Museum’s free and reduced-price admission programs, which are enjoyed by nearly 100,000 children and their caregivers each year. For more information, visit pleasetouchmuseum.org/imaginationball
