Shane’s Inspiration in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California

For our 30th Anniversary, we’re bringing you back to where it all began — Shane’s Inspiration Inclusive Playground in Griffith Park — for an unforgettable evening under the stars celebrating The Magic of Play!

On Saturday, March 6, 2027, join us for a magical night honoring nearly three decades of creating play, dignity, and social connection for children of ALL abilities.

The evening will begin with a Cocktail Reception right on the playground, where guests can experience the magic firsthand while enjoying roaming magicians, hors d’oeuvres, a hosted bar, silent auction, wine and spirits pull, and more.

As the stars come out, the celebration will continue with an elegant outdoor dinner and a special 30th Anniversary program featuring entertainment, inspiring stories, honorees, a live auction, and memorable moments celebrating our journey from one groundbreaking playground in Griffith Park to 81 inclusive playgrounds on five continents.

Proceeds from the Gala will support our free education and outreach programs, which have served more than 70,000 students throughout Los Angeles, as well as our work to create inclusive playgrounds and communities where children of all abilities can play together.

Dress to celebrate in Black Tie & Playful Soles — elegant attire with footwear that lets you comfortably explore and enjoy the playground.

Join us where the magic began as we celebrate how far we’ve come — and imagine all the possibilities still ahead!
