Cupcakes & Cocktails 2024 was epic! The Long Island Children’s Museum was alive with energy during this year’s gala, held on September 26th, 2024. We had a blast celebrating the power of community, connections, and creativity! We are proud to have recognized long-time partner, National Grid, as the recipient of the “Great Friend to Kids Award”. Our silent auction winners walked away with luxury sports experiences, spa treatments, and more! Best of all, more than $58,000 in donations was doubled thanks to a generous matching gift from LICM’s founders. Any amount makes an impact on Long Island Children’s Museum’s work to center the well-being of children and families through the power of play. The Gift Match may be over, but there’s still time to give!
A very special thanks to our amazing event Co-Chairs, Lisa Warren and Alexandra Marino for their time and tireless energy.
Thank you to this year's Sponsors and Underwriters!

Past Events
Cupcakes & Cocktails is recognized across Long Island as a unique event, both in terms of dollars raised and excitement produced. Billed as a festive evening for adults to celebrate the child in each of us, Cupcakes and Cocktails is LICM's only significant annual fundraiser. Each year we enjoy a night of fun and games, live music and dancing; indulge in delectable dishes and classic cocktails; come ready to play the game of chance for exciting experiences and unique prizes. Funds raised enable LICM to foster the growth of our next generation of artists, scientists, educators, entrepreneurs, and citizens.
