Every year CMOM hosts benefit events to celebrate the Museum’s achievements, programs and future projects. Proceeds from these events support CMOM’s art outreach programs serving disadvantaged children in hospitals, shelters, Head Start and public schools throughout New York City.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the contributors of our April 20th Children’s Museum of Manhattan Celebration honoring Andrew S. Ackerman for his 20 years as Executive Director.
