BE A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE!

You can help The Strong National Museum of Play build a brighter future through more programming, more education, and more play for the children and families who need it most! As we join together for this special event and look forward to the grand opening of The Strong's transformational expansion in summer 2023, your support of The Play Ball—and your partnership in building a more playful and inspiring world—are more important than ever.

We invite you to join Honorary Chair Aaron Newman on Friday, October 21, 2022 for an evening of fun and festivities that will highlight the transformational power of play in Rochester and beyond!

Fun With a Purpose

This year The Play ball will be a fun-filled and inspiring evening featuring all of the unique experiences that The Strong National Museum of Play is known for—and so much more! Attendees will enjoy incredible food from Wegmans, hours of grown-ups-only fun and play in The Strong’s exhibits, amazing auctions, creative cocktails, and world-renowned entertainment. Come be a part of this one-of-a-kind special event and learn how The Strong is creating a new, play-centric vision for our community and our world—just like a jigsaw puzzle brings together pieces of all shapes and sizes to create something bigger and better!
