Adopt an Exhibit

Help us care for and “feed” IWASM’s exhibits

Have you ever wondered about the care and feeding of museum exhibits?  Sure, the animals in the zoo eat -- but exhibits?  Exhibits need tender loving care, just like your favorite giraffes or lions.  Over time, exhibits need to be updated, artifacts must be preserved, and new information should be shared. “Feeding” our exhibits keeps them fresh and interesting for our members and visitors.  That’s why IWASM is launching our newest initiative – Adopt an Exhibit.  This program gives you the opportunity to help us to “feed” our exhibits.  Adoption can take place for 6 or 12 months and adoption costs vary by exhibit.  After all, a penguin eats less than a hippopotamus, right?  Everyone who adopts an exhibit will have a special plaque prominently displayed at the exhibit.  Companies interested in participating can provide a logo for inclusion on the sign.  And we’ll be sure to keep you up-to-date on how your donation has helped your exhibit.  Won’t you consider adopting an IWASM exhibit?  We don’t want any of them to go hungry!
