Society for Imagination and Wonder

The Society for Imagination and Wonder has been created on behalf of Arizona's young people - the future leaders of our community - and to ensure that many more will join Childsplay's important family of contributors. 

 

Membership in the Society is extended to individuals, foundations, and companies who contribute $1,200 or more annually and to those who have made gifts of $20,000 or more cumulatively over any time period. Learn More >

 

In appreciation of their generous support, Members will be proudly saluted in the following ways:

  • Invitation to an annual "Members Only" recognition event
  • Invitation to an annual reception where community leaders acknowledge and honor special efforts of Members
  • Listing in appropriate membership category of the Society for Imagination and Wonder in Childsplay's annual newsletters and in its Playbills. 
  • Lifetime Members of the Society will be permanently recognized on a commemorative recognition display at the Herberger Theater Center.
