Welcome to the Museum's 2016 Odd Ball

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Odd Ball, an event that

generates critical funding to support the Museum’s mission

of providing hands-on learning experiences that help prepare

children to become accomplished students and responsible

adults. We are deeply grateful for your support.

As we celebrate more than 20 years as a leading

educational resource in the community, we remain

steadfast in our commitment to supporting local families

that are struggling to raise a young child. Your participation

in Odd Ball will enable the Museum to benefit more than

240,000 children and adults during the coming year, and

help sustain Museum outreach initiatives that provide free

parenting education, admission, membership, field trips and

transportation assistance programs and events that benefit

80,000 participants annually, including families living in

poverty, foster families, teen parents, at-risk fathers, and

others whose circumstances often limit their use of resources

that can develop a child’s skills and shape their lifelong

values.

We want all of our community’s children to have experiences

that will spark their interests and build their capacity to learn

and grow. The Museum has embraced a national platform

to improve science, technology, engineering, arts and math

(STEAM) education by taking a leadership role – both locally

and nationally – to promote the Maker Movement, a global

community of inventors, entrepreneurs, educators, students,

and do-it-yourselfers that are changing how we live, work

and learn. The Museum offers a broad range of STEAM-based

maker programs for families and students throughout the

year, and we are proud to co-host the third-annual Maker

Faire® Milwaukee, a family-friendly event that promotes

education, and economic and workforce development. The

Faire is the largest free event of its kind in our nation and

reflects the Museum’s commitment to ensuring that all

children in our community have the opportunity to develop

the problem-solving, creative and conceptual skills they will

need to be successful in school…and for a lifetime.

Thank you for attending Odd Ball. We hope that you enjoy

tonight’s event, featuring a variety of sights, sounds and

tastes that showcase the talent and innovation of local

makers. Your contribution of much-needed resources to

support the Museum’s educational mission and outreach

initiatives is deeply appreciated and represents an important

investment in the future of our families and our community.

A Message from the

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Betty Brinn

Children’s Museum’s 2016 Odd Ball.

On behalf of the Museum’s Board of Directors and staff, I

want to extend my deepest thanks to our 2016 Odd Ball

Co-Chairs, Erica and Erik Zipp, and this year’s

outstanding Odd Ball Committee for their dedication to

making the event a success, championing our work in the

community, and involving friends in our mission! We also

want to thank all of the event sponsors, donors and guests

who have come together to support the Museum’s

commitment to early education.

Making – learning by doing – is revolutionizing education at

all levels, engaging students in the critical STEAM

(science, technology, engineering, arts and math) subjects

and encouraging them to develop the problem-solving,

creative and conceptual skills they will need to be

successful. Building on our educational mission and

commitment to community outreach, the Museum's Maker

Initiative has enabled us to work with schools, libraries and

other organizations – locally and across the country – to

develop makerspaces and maker education programs. The

Initiative engages children, young people and families in

programs and projects aimed at realizing the goal of "every

child a Maker," a national call to action to improve student

achievement and American innovation and

entrepreneurship.

Maker Faires around the world are described as the

“Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth.” Now in its third

year, Maker Faire® Milwaukee is hosted by the Museum in

partnership with Milwaukee Makerspace. We invite you to

attend this free, family-friendly festival that showcases new

products and technology, as well as makers exhibiting work

in a broad range of creative fields.

In addition to Museum outreach programs that ensure

access to our educational resources by thousands of

disadvantaged children and families each year, your

participation in Odd Ball will help fund Museum exhibits,

programs and services that benefit more than 240,000

children and adults annually. We are very grateful for your

support.

The Odd Ball Committee has created an incredible event

and I am so very proud to be involved with it. Thank you for

joining us. Enjoy your evening!

Jessie Lochmann Allen

President, Board of Directors

Wish List | 9

These programs and services are central to our educational

mission in the community, and are funding priorities.

Contributions may be made through the BidPal system

during the auction, or at auction check out. Each and every

contribution is important to our work, and we are grateful

for your generosity.

1001 Sponsor a Museum Membership for a Family in Need

Need: $150,000

Each year, the Museum’s Family Focus program provides

free parenting education, Museum membership and

transportation assistance to more than 1,300 local families

that are struggling to raise a young child, including families

living in poverty, foster families, teen parents, at-risk

fathers, families with a disabled child, families that do

not speak English as a first language, and others whose

circumstances often limit their access to educational

resources, including maker experiences that can build a

child’s STEAM-based academic skills, shape their values

and positively influence their lifelong capacity to learn.

Each gift of $130 will support the participation of one

disadvantaged family for an entire year.

1002 Neighborhood Night

Need: $87,000

The Museum must raise $87,000 to support Neighborhood

Night, an evening each month when we offer free admission

and enrichment opportunities such as maker programs

that build on science, technology engineering, arts and

math skills, to meet the needs of low-income families in

our community. Individuals and organizations may elect

to sponsor one month for $3,500 or contribute another

amount to help support this important outreach program.

1003 Back-to-School Resource Fair

Need: $14,000

The Museum’s annual Back-to-School Resource Fair

distributes free backpacks and school supplies to

needy families, and provides community and social

service agencies with an important opportunity to offer

information about school readiness, health and safety,

literacy, after-school programs and more. The Fair benefits

almost 2,000 children and adults each year.

The

WISH LIST

Annual Campaign

1004 Special Admissions

Need: $36,000

cognitive or emotional disabilities, and low-income

community groups, childcare centers and neighborhood

organizations. Gifts of $100 will provide a field trip for 20

children.

3001 Unrestricted Donation

The Museum is a leading community resource for children

and families, providing educational experiences for early

learners, pre-school and school-age children, as well as

adult education and parenting programs to more than

240,000 visitors each year. Without your generosity, the

Museum would be unable to continue improving its ever-

changing exhibits, reach out to thousands of disadvantaged

families in the community, and help all children develop the

skills they need for school, and beyond.

The Betty Brinn Children’s Museum

is dedicated to providing hands-on

educational experiences that help children

build fundamental skills during their

formative years, and to helping adults

recognize the positive inﬂuence of early

learning on a child’s lifelong success. All of

the Museum’s exhibits and programs are

developed to promote school readiness,

and are designed to reﬂect state and

national academic standards as well as

developmental milestones recognized by

the National Association for the Education

of Young Children.

While all children beneﬁt from early

learning programs, research conﬁrms that

disadvantaged children stand to beneﬁt

the most; access to quality early learning

experiences helps close the achievement

gap and prepare young children for success

in the classroom and beyond. The Museum

provides free parenting education, family

memberships, admission, ﬁeld trips, events

and transportation assistance to support

children, families and community groups

whose personal circumstances often limit

their access to enrichment opportunities

that can shape a young child’s life. The

Museum’s commitment to early education

represents an important investment in

local families and – in the longer term – the

growth of our community’s workforce and

economy.

The Museum is a private non-proﬁt that

does not receive operating support from

the United Way, UPAF, or from city, county

or state governments. Contributions are

critical to helping us meet the educational

needs of more than 240,000 children and

adults annually, including many of our area’s

most vulnerable children and families. On

behalf of all who will beneﬁt from your

generosity, thank you for supporting the

Museum’s 2016 Odd Ball.
