Fundraising Update

Great news! CCHS has recently received a $600 donation for the Veterans' Gallery from the estate of a Carver County family. This donation gets us closer to our goal, but we are still in need of lots more to reach our goal by November 11.

Although renovations are already underway in the Veterans’ Gallery at the Carver County Historical Society, we are still in need of funds to complete the project. It is estimated that gallery construction will cost approximately $15,000. CCHS is looking for donors to sponsor portions of the display. Donors may choose which section they wish to sponsor and a plaque denoting sponsorship will be placed in the gallery upon its completion. Any amount you feel you can give will be appreciated. Please help us create a memorial to those who have served.

If you would like to donate by credit card, please visit www.carvercountyhistoricalsociety.org and click on the “Donate” link on the home page. This will allow you to make a secure online donation through the Paypal service. We cannot take credit card donations at the museum but have a computer available if you would like to make your donation here.

A big THANK YOU to everyone that has given so far and to those who have donated their time, stories, and objects to help us build this exhibit.
