Sponsorships are now available to support MOXI@Night, the annual fundraising event for MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation. This year’s event, “Play It Forward,” will be held September 26 and feature a retro 1970s and Studio 54-inspired theme. Proceeds support the museum’s educational programs and accessibility initiatives.
The deadline for sponsors to be included in the event invitation is July 24. For more sponsorship information, visit moxi.org/moxi-at-night.
Sponsorships range from $2,500 to $50,000 and include event tickets or tables and complimentary MOXI admission for a school or charity of the donor’s choice, plus other benefits. Proceeds help support school field trips, Community Access Partnerships for underserved youth, and free museum admission for local teachers, among other accessibility programs.
“Play It Forward reflects the joy, creativity, and energy that make MOXI so special,” said Board member Lily Hahn Shining, honorary event co-chair with her sister and founding donor Belle Hahn. “This is a meaningful way to expand access to learning through play and exploration.”
“MOXI@Night is more than a celebration, it’s an investment in the next generation of curious thinkers, creators, and innovators,” added Hahn. “This event literally opens doors to transformative STEAM experiences for our community’s children.”
Play It Forward on September 26
Held on the museum’s rooftop, the evening begins with a cocktail reception with live music, followed by dinner and a live auction led by Andrew Firestone, with surprises sprinkled throughout the evening. It culminates with a late-night lounge, music, and dancing at MOXI@Night’s signature silent disco. Guests are encouraged to dress in disco-inspired and retro attire. Event tickets go on sale in August if they are not sold out through sponsorships.
All proceeds from MOXI@Night support MOXI’s STEAM programs and initiatives that provide free or reduced-cost access to thousands of underserved students, teachers, and families annually. These include field trips for Title I schools, the Community Access Program through family service agencies and public libraries, Museums for All admission for CalFresh EBT cardholders, and free after-school programming for local students who otherwise may not be able to visit the museum.
