THE KOHL GALA

Guests said yes to play, curiosity, and discovery at The Kohl Gala, the annual fundraiser for Kohl Children’s Museum. Held at Michigan Shores Club in Wilmette and chaired by Haven Leeming and Brendan Siegfried, the evening raised more than $250,000 to support the Museum’s exhibits, programs, and community initiatives. From hands-on science experiments during cocktail hour to a lively dance floor set by the Suite Mollie Band, the night blended fun with purpose—benefiting outreach efforts like the Pop-Up Museum in Lake County and programming for military families and children with disabilities. kohlschildrensmuseum.org
