Annual Fundraisers

Each year, we host events designed to create community and invite people to become involved in Play Sharity Gallup Children's Museum.
​
These events are sponsored by community businesses, and are free or low cost to attend so that everyone can join in the fun.
​
In October 2024, we hosted our first annual fundraiser, A Day of Play, which featured bouncy houses, a foam party, games, a wacky walkway, touch-an-excavator, pop-up exhibits, and food trucks. The generous support of sponsors and community members helped us raise $11,000!
​
On May 4, 2024, we held The Color Run fundraiser, hosted at Hózhó Academy.
