Community Partners Who Make a Difference

The Children's Museum in Oak Lawn thrives because of the generous support of businesses, organizations, and individuals who believe in the power of play-based learning. Their contributions help fund exhibits, programs, and accessibility initiatives, ensuring that all children and families have the opportunity to learn through play.

 

We extend our deepest gratitude to this year’s supporters and recognize the ongoing commitment of past donors who continue to make a lasting impact.
