You might ask yourself: Why support the Springfield Museums? One of our benefactors, Steve Bailey, offers his reason: “The Springfield Museums are key for the area and must be supported so they don’t go away.”
He adds: “We need to help preserve the Museums as an open, community area for education…a place that makes kids ask questions, learn at their own pace, and find new interests. I remember going to the Museums as a kid when we were told to get in line and listen to the guide; today, I see I see families stopping by, walking in and out of the buildings, letting the kids play outside. That freedom probably makes the biggest impact. A curious mind is what educated me – and the Museums, with all of their cultural significance, are significantly helpful with nurturing curious minds. That is worth supporting.”
With donations that help to cover our operating expenses, we can continue to nurture minds and spark curiosity. We can continue to provide engagement, literacy, and learning to multi-generational audiences in innovative and interesting ways, all across our campus.
Will you help us to sustain our mission and our momentum by making a year-end contribution to our Annual Fund? Each gift, no matter the size, truly makes a difference!
