It was Big Top, Big Fun all in support of the littles on Saturday night! 🎪✨

Together, we raised over $50,000 to support museum enhancements and the work we do every day. A heartfelt thank you to our attendees, volunteers, donors, sponsors, community partners, and our host, Albion College, for your support that evening and throughout the year!

We’ve got lots more fun in store, so stay tuned!
