Museum and partners ask for Give Local donations; Jackson State Park seeks $30,000 for educational wagon display
Summary
Program organizers said the museum and partner groups are participating in Give Local (matches apply on Nov. 16) and highlighted a Jackson State Park campaign that raised $10,000 last year and is seeking about $30,000 for a wagon display used for education.
Program host Sheena opened the evening by asking attendees to support the museum and local partner pages during the Give Local fundraising drive, noting the Air Foundation provides matches for that day. "Supporting us and all of those partner organizations greatly help us with developing programming," she said, and the museum asked patrons to consider donating on the match day.
Sheena singled out a Jackson State Park campaign to build a large wagon display for educational purposes: organizers raised $10,000 last year toward a $30,000 goal and hope to raise a comparable amount this year. Laura Leard (with Park) also announced upcoming program logistics: the QAP engagement series will pause after this event and resume in late January, and a combined presentation (Americans and Native Americans) plus an afternoon geological workshop will require registration when sign-ups open the first week of January.
The museum encouraged attendees to watch the county's Facebook page for event flyers and to contact the county office ("the county's main") for more information. The appeals were framed as sustaining programming through the South Carolina 250th commemoration period (through 2033) and supporting partner-run exhibits and workshops.
