Giving Tree

MAKE A DONATION: MAKE A WISH COME TRUE

Select an ornament from the tree- each representing a specific need or wish for the museum. Contributions will support various programs, exhibits, and community outreach efforts. Sponsor a local student’s educational tour, a senior’s wellness program entrance, supplies for after-school programs, or a military family’s admission; the ways to spread seasonal cheer and give back are endless.
