Spring Fundraiser

THANKS FOR A WICKEDLY GOOD TIME

What a festivating* evening we had around Broadway's incredible production of Wicked! Through its unforgettable music and dazzling visuals that reimagine the world of Oz, Wicked explored the themes of friendship, prejudice, and the courage to stand up for what is right.

It is with our deepest gratitution* that we thank all who supported this year's event. Your generosity helped make this the most financially successful Spring Fundraising ever! Proceeds will help the Museum reach 300,000 students in 2026 through field trips, classroom programs, and curriculum resources. Of these students, 91% are from low-income schools.

Special thanks to Event Chairs, Tonika Cheek Clayton and JoJo Fleiss and their daughters, Raiya Clayton and Caroline Fleiss, who served as Junior Event Chairs. Along with the incredible Host Committee, they also helped make this one of the most well-attended Spring events, which we find thrillifying.*

We learned from Wicked that it is said that people come into our lives for a reason. Because we knew you, we have been changed for good.
