Molina Healthcare of Texas recently partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas to host 100 kids from their local club for an overnight stay at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. This experience was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the participants, ages 6-14.

“For many of the kids, this was their first museum visit ever,” said Amanda Ramirez, program support specialist, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas. “They were all so excited and we’re thankful to Molina Healthcare of Texas and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science for making this incredible event possible.”

The evening began with the kids being served dinner by Molina employee volunteers, then they were chaperoned to the museum for behind-the-scenes access to exhibits, a live science show, 3D film, and an abundance of hands-on discovery stations. After the boys and girls soaked in the various science lessons and learned about the history of dinosaurs, they concluded the evening with a sleepover in one of the large exhibit halls until morning.

“Molina’s Night at the Museum event was designed to give the boys and girls an unforgettable learning experience,” said Sheila Shelton, director of community engagement, Molina Healthcare of Texas. “The kids learned about science, technology, and the history of dinosaurs before the new school year started. Every child went home with a bag of school supplies to make sure they were ready for the new school year.”
