About
Friends of the Children’s Museum at La Habra Programs include a casino-themed fundraiser that features classic casino games, prizes, and opportunities to support the Children’s Museum at La Habra. The program is connected to the Children’s Museum’s hands-on environment and its unique, hands-on educational and cultural experiences, which include rotating exhibits, a dress up room with a stage for singing songs, dino bone digging, carousel rides, Breakfasts with Santa, birthday parties, and picnic lunches after museum visits.

The Friends of the Children’s Museum at La Habra Programs are part of an organization that has been a resource in the Southern California community since 1977. The Friends of the Children’s Museum is a nonprofit educational organization whose mission is to encourage enthusiasm about learning in a hands-on environment that opens the world to even the youngest child. The organization’s leadership includes Teresa Egan, who serves as President of the Board of Directors. Proceeds from the casino-themed fundraiser support the Children’s Museum, helping to fund educational exhibits, programs, and resources for children and families in the community.
The Friends of the Children’s Museum partners with Charity Navigator, Candid’s GuideStar, and OC Nonprofit Central, operated by the Orange County Community Foundation, to provide information about the organization. It has earned Charity Navigator’s top 4-Star rating, placing it among the top 2% of rated charities nationwide, and in 2025 GuideStar awarded the Friends of the Children’s Museum the Gold Seal of Transparency.
Parents and grandparents describe the museum as a place where children have visited many times, enjoyed rotating exhibits, sung on stage in the dress up room, dug for dino bones, ridden the carousel, attended Breakfasts with Santa, celebrated birthday parties, and spent afternoons followed by picnic lunches. One testimonial recalls a Hmong exhibit created by the Madison, Wisconsin Children’s Museum that showed village life, agriculture, and embroidered story-cloths, and notes that Hmong visitors, including an elderly gentleman, explained its significance. Another testimonial notes that a family’s four grandchildren spent a lot of time there, with many visits and special events.
