Miami, FL – November 14, 2024 – The Miami Children’s Museum launched fundraising efforts for its 2025 Be A Kid Again Gala at the beautiful home of the Gala Chairs, noted art collectors Pablo Rodríguez-Fraile and Desiree Casoni. Gala Committee members, Museum Board members, and guests enjoyed the sunset and cocktails while mingling and signing up for tables at the forthcoming event, to be held at the Museum on Saturday, April 5, 2025. The couple announced the theme of the 2025 “Be A Kid Again” Gala, A Night in the Electric Garden, inspired by the intersection of nature with digital art, celebrating the convergence of technology, culture, and creativity in the modern era. The couple also announced their generous gift of $50,000 to support the upcoming gala!

Miami Children’s Museum is South Florida’s premier institution for interactive and engaging early childhood learning through art, science, culture, and literacy. Proceeds from the Gala support the Museum’s engaging, exciting exhibits and cultural programming, as well as the S.M.A.R.T (Safe Multicultural Artistic Recreational Teaching) Program which provides daily, high-quality after-school youth development to five schools in Earlington Heights, Brownsville, Goulds, Liberty City, and Miami Gardens. These funds also extend to the Museum’s innovative programming by allowing the organization to deliver the highest quality educational experiences that promote the love of learning from an early age and empower children to realize their highest potential.
