Annual Appeal
As the Executive Director of The Carousel Museum, I am reaching out to share a vision that transcends time and touches the hearts of all who visit our museum. We believe in the power of storytelling through our collection. It is the gateway to memories and stories that span generations and remind us of carefree days spent at amusement parks, the laughter of children, and the joy of shared experiences as Americans.
However, maintaining our collection requires significant financial resources. This year, we are embarking on ambitious projects to create interactive exhibits that will engage and educate our visitors about the history and artistry of the carousel and restore several carousel figures. To make this vision a reality, we need your help.
Goal 1: Expanding Educational Programs, We continue to develop innovative educational initiatives to engage our community and visitors. Your support will help us create programs that inspire a deeper appreciation for the art and history of carousels and the American story.
Goal 2: Enhancing Visitor Experiences, We are committed to improving our facilities and developing interactive exhibits that attract and engage visitors of all ages. Your generosity can help transform our museum into an even more inviting and educational space.
Goal 3: Restoring Historic Carousel Figures
Many cherished figures require restoration to maintain their beauty and integrity. Your financial contributions will help us carefully restore these pieces, ensuring they continue to tell their stories.
We invite you to join us in this vital mission. Whether through a one-time donation, recurring gift, or including us in your required IRA distribution planning, your generosity will play a critical role in our continued success. Your support is not just a donation but an integral part of our mission, an investment in preserving the magic of carousels for generations to come. You can give online or mail a check in the enclosed envelope.
We look forward to continuing this journey with you. Together, let us ensure that the spirit of the carousel continues to inspire and delight all who visit the Carousel Museum.
Sincerely,
Morgan Fippinger-Urgo
