Play Champions Circle

Generous donors who give year after year to The Strong’s core programs are the lifeblood of this museum. It’s how we thrive, how we adapt, and how we respond to urgent new priorities as they emerge.

The Play Champions Circle recognizes donors who make annual, unrestricted gifts to The Strong National Museum of Play over a three-year period. Gifts may be designated to an area of the museum donors feel most passionate about—including collections, community outreach, exhibits, Woodbury School & education, Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden or live collections, video game preservation, Generation Two, or wherever support is needed most.
