Neon Night fundraiser Saturday
The Mississippi Children’s Museum is hosting its annual fundraiser, Neon Night, this Saturday where guests will enjoy an evening with glowing neon lights, electrifying music, specialty cocktails, and savory snacks.
Neon Night is an MCM Partners signature fundraising event where young professionals can connect, while supporting MCM’s educational initiatives and exploring award-winning exhibits. “Neon Night brings MCM to life on a summer night with great music, local food, and beverages. We are honored to be a part of this signature fundraising event to support Mississippi’s current and future generation of children,” says Neon Night Co-Chair, Ann Ferrell Alston.
Guests over 21 are invited to dress up with glowing necklaces and bracelets and dance the night away with Powerhouse Band playing everyone’s favorite dance hits! The event was established by a dedicated group of young adults who value and support MCM’s mission to promote literacy, health, and education for children.
As MCM’s “youngest” signature event, Neon Night has quickly become a must-attend party for the young and young-at-heart crowd. “This fun-filled evening will be an occasion to celebrate and support MCM, which serves as a resource to so many families throughout Mississippi,” says Madison VanLandeghem, Neon Night Co-Chair.
