Can’t attend the event, but still want to support the Center? Consider a donation to our $100 for 100 Campaign.
In conjunction with the Centennial Celebration of the Henshaw House, we’re kicking off a campaign to raise $10,000 for general Nature Discovery Center operations this year. We’re asking you to make a donation of $100, just $1 for each of the Henshaw House’s 100 years. We’ll reach our goal with 100 donations of $100 each!
Contributors to this campaign will be entered into a drawing for a $250 gift card to Amazon. Two gift card winners will be drawn!
