Donor Spotlight >> 

The Spinner Family

We first became acquainted with Pretend City when our niece, Sue Harrison, began working there.  Our initial donations were to support her and admittedly we didn’t know too much about the museum.  As a part of our support, we decided to attend the first Summer Soiree.  It was at this event and the subsequent Soirees that the magnitude of Pretend City became real to us.

As educators, we are fully aware of the importance of the practical aspects of education in everyday life.  Listening to the experiences related by parents at the Soirees has shown us that the work done at Pretend City is not only educational but practical in giving children of all ages and abilities opportunities to grow in their knowledge and experience in a safe and nurturing environment.

Especially meaningful are parents recounting how their child responded positively to the stimuli at Pretend City when other attempts to reach a child with learning disabilities were unsuccessful.  The joy expressed by these parents at their child’s success should be the most rewarding for those working at the museum.

While many children’s museums are doing wonderful work, it is Pretend City’s unique approach to children experiencing practical, educational encounters with real life situations that we feel is the highlight of Pretend City’s programs.  Adapting these programs to various ages and abilities, advantages and disadvantages is also what makes Pretend City unique.

We will continue to support Pretend City and spread its success stories to help grow awareness of the museum outside of Orange County.
