Annual Appeal
Because of you, 2024 was extraordinary for the Bloomsburg Children’s Museum. We welcomed 43,212 visitors, expanded mobile programming to 14 counties, and delivered over 800 hours of hands-on education — with more than 65% of programs free or reduced cost. We hosted landmark community events, gifted memberships to families in need, and celebrated our 40th anniversary with record-breaking attendance.
But these numbers tell only part of the story. The real story is what comes next.
We are on the cusp of transformational growth. With your support, we are laying the groundwork for a larger museum facility that will serve even more families. We are developing new exhibits that will inspire the next generation of scientists, makers, and problem-solvers. We are expanding outreach so that every child in our 14-county region — especially in rural and underserved communities — can experience the joy of discovery.
Your donation is not just a gift; it is an investment in our community’s future. Every dollar you give fuels:
- New exhibits that spark imagination and prepare kids for tomorrow’s challenges.
- Mobile outreach that brings STEM, art, and culture directly to schools and libraries.
- Free and low-cost access so that no child is ever left out.
- Momentum toward expansion, ensuring we can welcome thousands more families in the years ahead.
Our Museum thrives on small staff, strong volunteers, and big dreams. With just a handful of employees and more than 120 dedicated volunteers, we’ve built a regional institution that serves over 40,000 people each year. Imagine what we can do next — with you by our side.
As we look toward 2025, I invite you to BELIEVE IN WHAT’S NEXT. Your generosity will ensure we continue to grow, inspire, and uplift our entire community.
Thank you for believing in us, and for investing in the future of every child who walks through our doors.
