On Friday, October 23, 2026, join honorary chairs Dan & Denise Burns and Steve & Jeanne Epping for Play Ball 2026 at The Strong National Museum of Play for an evening of fun and festivities that showcase the power of play in our community and beyond!
This year, The Strong will host a playful and inspiring event featuring incredible food, fun, and play in The Strong’s one-of-a-kind exhibits, amazing silent and live auctions, and world-renowned entertainment. As we join together for this special evening, you’ll see firsthand how your support is building a more playful and inspiring world—and that is a non-trivial pursuit!
Tickets to the onsite event are $220 per ticket or $2,000 for a table of 6.
