Powered by Play: A Campaign for The Strong

Donor support funds free and reduced admission for tens of thousands of foster families, at-risk children, adults and children with special needs, low-income families, and many others who might not otherwise get to experience the magic of The Strong.

Upper Level Members, museum supporters, and friends attend Museum Secrets, a behind-the-scenes look at The Strong’s collections, exhibits, and more.

Guests at The Strong’s annual gala, Play Ball, gather to raise funds for the museum’s educational mission and outreach programs.

The Strong breaks ground on a 90,000-square-foot museum expansion and new parking garage—and launches its $60-million capital campaign, Powered by Play.
You’re the string on our yo-yo. The game cartridge in our console. The missing piece of our favorite puzzle.
In other words, we couldn’t do it without you!
At The Strong, we believe that play is as essential as the air we breathe. Play boosts mental and physical health for people of all ages and is proven to make children and adults smarter, happier, and healthier. Through Powered by Play: A Campaign for The Strong, we’re creating a bigger and better museum, one that will make playful learning available to hundreds of thousands more people each year—and your support makes it all possible.
