FUNDRAISING GOAL: $25,000
The UMLAUF Sculpture Garden + Museum's annual Garden Party fundraiser was scheduled to take place on April 23rd. Due to government mandates caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the event had to be cancelled and the museum remains closed until further notice.
In lieu of an in-person fundraising event, we are hosting this online fundraising campaign to help mitigate the devastating loss in revenue the museum has experienced. We understand that this is a difficult time for our community, and the UMLAUF is one of many organizations that are facing obstacles in the coming weeks and months. We are so thankful to our community and advocates for their continued support during this time.
Thank you for helping ensure the UMLAUF is here to serve our community for years to come. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Garden soon, and celebrating the 30th anniversary of the UMLAUF together at Garden Party in 2021!
