2025 Play Date Sponsorships
Event Information
Play Date, the signature annual gala benefiting St. Louis Children's Hospital, is headed into its 11th year. This event turns the typical black-tie gala on its head, encouraging adult guests to enjoy a fun, interactive evening, while remembering the joys of childhood. Each year, Play Date has a new theme with exciting interactive games and activities, followed by a seated dinner, program and fantastic after-party with live music. The theme this year is TBD!
How your sponsorship will help
Play Date raises funds to accelerate discoveries that lead to breakthroughs in pediatric research. Support of the Children’s Discovery Institute (CDI), a partnership between St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Washington University, sets in motion unique collaborations that leverage the medical center’s expertise in genomics, cellular imaging and innovative pediatric disease modeling.
