RAISE THE BID 2025 - Support the Bus Fund!

Funds raised from this year’s Raise Your Bid will be directed to the Museum’s “Bus Fund” -- a special fund providing transportation scholarships to schools and community groups who otherwise couldn’t afford to bring students here on field trips.

Established in 2024 through grant support, the FloGris Bus Fund served 566 children in its first year alone -- children who would not have had the opportunity to experience the Museum’s enriching, life-affirming educational programs without it.

By helping us relieve schools of the burdensome cost of transportation, you are helping break down the barriers and providing a vital conduit for joy and learning to the lives of underserved children across the state.

Thank you for Raising Your Bid --- and making a lifelong impact!
