Night at the Museum: The Color Factory

We are incredibly grateful for all of the support to CMON, our annual gala Night at the Museum: The Color Factory was a huge success in furthering our mission of inspiring children and families through playful learning experiences by raising $1,500,000.

The most fantastic gala in Naples was hosted by event chairs Ashley & Adam Gerry and Lily & Arsen Ustayev, as well as honorary chairs Barbara & John Jordan! 

Your contributions help us continue offering engaging exhibits, hands-on programs, and educational resources that spark curiosity and creativity in young minds. Whether you attended the gala, made a donation, or supported us in other ways, we sincerely appreciate you being part of our museum family.

We’d like to share this video with you about Discovery Nights at CMON and our community partners. Discovery Nights are private, secure evenings at CMON for children in foster care, a shelter, or who have experienced trauma.

This is such an important evening at the museum and one that exists because of support from fundraising events like Night at the Museum!
