Donate TodayCircle of Friends supports Kidspace Children’s Museum
For 35 years, Circle of Friends has partnered with Kidspace Children’s Museum to ensure every child has access to the wonder, joy, and lifelong benefits of play. Since 1991, Circle has proudly raised an estimated $10 million in support of Kidspace, helping welcome approximately 9 million children and families through its doors and inspiring generations through the power of play.
With the generosity of our donors and supporters, we’ve helped remove barriers so children and families of all backgrounds and abilities can learn, explore, connect, and simply be kids. Circle’s fundraising supports vital access programs, including Free Family Nights, camp scholarships, Title I school field trips, discounted admission for veterans and families with EBT cards, and learning opportunities for LAUSD and PUSDstudents.
Our support also makes special programs like Birthday Palooza possible, reuniting siblings living in separate foster homes to celebrate their birthdays together. Circle also helps Kidspace provide joy, connection, and learning for families facing extraordinary challenges, including those impacted by the Eaton Fire.
Through fundraising, volunteer service, and the generosity of our community, Circle of Friends continues to help Kidspace bring the power of play to more children and families throughout Los Angeles.
Please help us make 2027 our biggest year ever! Proceeds from the 2027 Benefit will go directly to supporting the museum’s programming. Kidspace is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
