Poor Farm Palooza Fundraiser
Each year, the Wood County Museum hosts its annual Poor Farm Palooza Fundraiser, our largest fundraising event of the year and a vital source of support for the Museum’s programs and community offerings. This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate America250, marking 250 years of the nation, and the opening of our new exhibit “Past into the Present” which features a 1950s Mid-Century Modern kitchen from a local Wood County home.
We are reaching out to ask if you would consider supporting the Museum by purchasing a virtual Poor Farm Palooza Fundraiser “no-show” ticket or becoming a sponsor of our online silent auction. Your support helps ensure that the Museum can continue providing engaging experiences that connect our community with Wood County’s rich history while keeping many programs affordable and free to attend.
Our virtual fundraiser offers supporters multiple ways to make an impact:
- Purchase a virtual “no-show” event ticket – A simple way to invest in the Museum’s mission and help sustain our free educational and community programming.
- Sponsor the online silent auction – Sponsorship support helps create an exciting online auction while raising critical funds for the Museum.
Every contribution—large or small—directly supports the preservation of local history, educational programming, exhibits, and community events that serve visitors of all ages, and help them remain accessible and free for everyone to enjoy.
Your generosity allows the Wood County Museum to continue growing as a place where history is preserved, stories are shared, and community connections are built.
Additional information about sponsorship opportunities and virtual ticket purchases is included on the back of this letter. If you have any questions or would like to discuss ways to support the fundraiser, please feel free to reach out. We would be happy to help.
Thank you for considering supporting the Wood County Museum and investing in programs and experiences that benefit our entire community.
