The New Children’s Museum’s fourth annual gala, Carnaval do Rio held there on Aug. 27, produced $540,000 – a huge success — according to organizers. Guests were transported to the streets of Rio de Janeiro for the stunning sights, sensuous sounds, and fresh flavors of Brazil. Some 60 artists and athletes provided more than 80 performances throughout the evening, which included cocktails, dinner and auctions. Funds raised will ensure that every student has access to the arts, including San Diego’s most underserved kids. Learn more at thinkplaycreate.org
