Lied Discovery Children Museum’s annual Party going green – Oct 4
The Lied Discovery Children’s Museum’s 26th annual fundraiser is lightening its carbon footprint in recognition of the night’s honoree, Sierra Pacific Resources, which will receive the organization’s great friend to kids award. 
The energy utility is being honored for its support of museum, particularly a new “green” exhibit on energy conservation.
The event will be at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Mirage.
“Our gala is different because we raise money for programs and exhibits, but we also have fun,” said Judy Kropid, the party’s co-chairwoman.
More than 500 people are expected to attend the event, which opens with a silent auction of donations from Las Vegas entertainers, businesses and artists from across the nation. There will also be a live auction and a “baby booty paddle raffle.”
Money raised will support the museum’s operations. 
Lied Discovery Children’s Museum is a private, nonprofit organization designed to provide vibrant and engaging experiences that ignite a love of lifelong learning in children and their families in the arts, sciences and humanities.
Since 1990, the museum has offered hands-on exhibitions, multicultural performances and creative art and science workshops. It is located at 833 Las Vegas Blvd. North.
