- This amount includes the cost of shipping the trunks roundtrip, maintaining the trunks, and replacing missing items.
- You, your organization, and/or the person you wish to honor, will be acknowledged in the Holocaust Center's newsletter, and on the Center's website.
$3000 - Adds one teaching trunk to our fleet
- Your trunk will provide an additional 8 schools and 300 students each year with the opportunity to use these valuable resources.
- This amount covers the cost of ordering and buying the physical trunk, filling it with books and DVDs, laminating the maps, and creating the notebook of teacher guides and activities.
- You, your organization, and/or the person you wish to honor, will be acknowledged in the trunk, the Holocaust Center's newsletter, on the Center's website, and on all trunk publicity materials.
Any and all contributions to the trunk program are appreciated.
Support is always needed to cover the costs of sending the trunks to and from
schools.
