Ongoing Fundraiser
"No-Show Gala"
Honor the 150th Anniversary of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln with a contirbution to our annual fundraiser!
Our second annual appeal for support is underway. Rather than spending resources to throw a large fundraising event, we ask our supporters to contribute as if attending a fictitious ball in honor of the 150th inauguration of Abraham Lincoln.
In 2010 our "No-Show Gala" raised $8,720 toward our goal of $9,000 to cover all of the utilities and security expenses for the year. We are deeply grateful for the public's support. As a non-profit institution, we have relied on admissions, store sales, and donations to keep the museum open since 1977. We are asking for your help in again covering some of our basic operating expenses in 2011. We estimate that utilities and security will cost $9,150 in 2011. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support. Contact 859/233-9999 for further information or click on the links below. Thank you!
