Fund-a-Family

The Children’s Museum of the Upstate exists to ignite a passion for learning in all children and is committed to providing powerful learning experiences for children and families that might not otherwise be able to participate. The Fund-A-Family Program subsidizes admission fees for families in at-risk communities based upon need and funds available. With the support of community organizations like United Way, The Children’s Museum will welcome more than 1,400 visitors thanks to the more than $14,000 raised for the program at the 2010 Chocolate Soiree. If you cannot attend Chocolate Soiree and wish to support this unique program please contact Director of Development, Julie Accetta at jaccetta@tcmupstate.org
