Childhood without laughter, learning and wonder is a childhood in need of some color! In this season of giving, color outside the lines - think beyond material needs and consider supporting a child's very real need to imagine, pretend, play and explore.

Please help us bring color to the lives of children with limited access to play by supporting our Wrap It Up for Kids campaign. Your gift will fund museum visits for our community's most vulnerable children and families. Put a bow on 2009 by supporting our Imagination Fund. We're only $20,000 away from our goal! Won't you help us get there?!

Join us for a delightful family fundraiser benefiting Marbles Kids Museum. The festive holiday party includes:

• Dinner, Drinks & Dessert for the whole family
• Live Music by Sandbox Kids & Family Fun Band
• Frolic in Real Snow
• Meet & Greet our Elves
• Raffle of 2 nights' stay & water park passes to Great Wolf Lodge and other great prizes
  
• Photos by Cayce Wagner Photography
  
• Dress in your PJs & Boots!

Tickets are limited and will sell out soon. Purchase on or before Wednesday, November 25 and save BIG! Buy yours online or at the museum welcome desk. Party proceeds benefit the Imagination Fund at Marbles Kids Museum.

Kids with special needs and their families are invited to join us for an evening of fun. Marbles Kids Museum, the Arc of Wake County and other local organizations dedicated to the support of and service to the special needs community have teamed up to bring you Family Fun Night, an evening of play and learning for children 10 and under with special needs and their families.

Family Fun Night is free, and exclusively for children with special needs and their families.
