In just two weeks, the Miami Children’s Museum will host its Be a Kid Again gala, this year with the theme “Leap into the Future,” named for both the February 29th date and the young lives it educates and serves. Afterward, it’s the “Play After Dark After Party” fueled by young professionals, meaning philanthropists of all ages can join the fun and support the organization.
