Join us on Friday, October 25 6-10:30 p.m. for The Play Ball 2024!

Heroes at Play

The Strong National Museum of Play will host a playful and inspiring event featuring incredible food, fun, and play in our one-of-a-kind exhibits, amazing silent and live auctions, and world-renowned entertainment. As we join together for this special evening, you’ll see firsthand how your support is building a more playful and inspiring world!

Please join Honorary Chairs Ken and Erin Glazer for an evening of fun and festivities that showcase the power of play in our community and beyond!

Play Ball is a 21+ event.

The night includes:

Creative Cocktails & Cuisine

Enjoy a mouth-watering menu created by the culinary masters at Wegmans alongside fine wines, craft beers, and—for a small donation—signature cocktails in the Good Luck Cocktail Clubhouse!

Awesome Auctions & Entertainment

Back by popular demand…Tape Face! During the Main Event, enjoy entertainment from one of the world’s most wonderfully weird and whimsical performers. Other special performers and Breakthrough Entertainment will keep the party going throughout the night.

You can also support The Strong while bidding on uniquely awesome auction packages, exceptional treasures, and one-of-a-kind experiences.

Play the Night Away in Style!

Play Ball is a once-a-year opportunity to explore and play in The Strong’s interactive exhibits as you model your finest formal wear—or you can opt for more playful styles! As always, creative attire is admired, but not required!
