Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence

Big thanks to our friends at @tandcmarkets for putting the KiDiMu Auction up on their Winslow billboard! Seeing that sign as you drive through town just makes us smile — it’s gestures like this that remind us how lucky we are to live in such a supportive, close-knit community.

T&C is also generously sponsoring the charcuterie for our VIP Champagne & Charcuterie welcome. VIP guests get to arrive 30 minutes early, enjoy bubbly and bites, and leave with a fun commemorative red bandana.

If you haven’t grabbed your tickets yet, now’s the time! This year’s RAWRing 20s celebration is going to be a night to remember.

IN COLLABORATION WITH DREAMWORKS ANIMATION AND THE ASSOCIATION OF CHILDREN’S MUSEUMS…

Only two Gabby’s Dollhouse MEOWseum Discovery Days left this summer—including today and next Wednesday, August 20th!

Kids have been loving the Gabby’s Dollhouse books, crafts, and scavenger hunt—plus fun activities like a memory matching game and making cat cards.

Everything is inspired by the colorful, playful world of Gabby’s Dollhouse, and it’s all included with regular museum admission (free for members!).

📅 When: Every Wednesday from 1–5pm through August 20th
📍 Where: KiDiMu

Don’t miss these last chances for some truly meow-gical fun—let’s make some MEOWmories before summer wraps up! 🐾💜

Last year’s auction was so much fun — incredible auction items, fun surprises, great food & drinks, and the kind of community energy that makes Bainbridge Island so special. We can’t wait to do it all again!

This year we’re stepping back in time with our RAWRing 20s theme — think Gatsby meets prehistoric flair. Expect a night full of creativity, connection, and fun!

We’re turning 20 and throwing a grown-ups-only celebration to mark two decades of wonder, discovery, and play. Join us on September 6th for our Annual Auction and 20th Anniversary Party — an evening of joy, generosity, and a little bit of mischief (museum-style).

🎟 Snag your tickets now: https://kidimu.org/wonder-auction/

This is our largest fundraiser of the year — and your chance to support the next generation of curious, creative kids while having a whole lot of fun.

We’re throwing a party 20 years in the making — and you’re invited! 🥂✨

For one night only, the museum will come alive after dark with interactive exhibits designed just for grown-ups. Step back into the glamour of the 1920s—dinosaurs in flapper dresses, jazz-age charm, playful games, themed cocktails, and a whole lot of fun.

Guests are encouraged to dress in festive 1920s-inspired attire (optional!) and come ready for an evening of laughter, connection, and generosity as we raise our paddles to support the next 20 years of wonder, discovery, and play.

We’re thrilled to welcome Fundraising Auctioneer Sasha Summer Cousineau, who brings heart, humor, and spark to every event—and will lead us through the evening’s auction with style and purpose.

Tickets are limited, so mark your calendars—sales open this Saturday, July 26th.

Step into the speakeasy with us, and let’s toast to 20 years of KiDiMu magic—and all the joy still ahead.
