Spark After Dark 2022: A record-breaking night for Thinkery

Andy Bell (Thinkery CEO), John Antonelli (Thinkery Board Past President), and K.C. Barner (Thinkery Board President)

Spark After Dark was truly an evening of wonder and a record-breaking night for Thinkery! Over 500 members of our Thinkery community came out to play, learn, and give. And together, we raised more than $275,000 to ensure ALL children and families can access our inspirational, play-based learning programs through the Open Door Initiative. Thank you to everyone who attended for helping make this possible!

Special thanks to our Spark After Dark Co-Chairs Megan Lyons and Meredith Waters, Spark After Dark Host Committee, Board President K.C. Barner and Past President John Antonelli; Presenting Sponsor Texas Children’s Hospital; Silent Auction Sponsors Wells Fargo, Google Fiber, and Netspend; Richard McDonell and MintBuilders for their generous $10,000 matching gift, and all of our Food and Beverage Sponsors, Event Sponsors, Individual Sponsors, and In-Kind Sponsors.

Because of the generosity of our Thinkery friends, thousands of our community’s future creative problem solvers will be able to experience joyful learning, maybe for the first time, but if we have anything to do with it, certainly not their last.
