Needs

Four good reasons to help us make our goal of $10,000

>>We're excited this season to present our third year of the ever popular, low-cost Family Concert Series. Each concert is featured at one of our first-rate Fort Worth museums. As one patron commented, "There's nothing like this anywhere else in Fort Worth."

>>Once we reach $2500, we have a $2500 matching grant from an anonymous donor.

>>Our goal of $10,000 will help fund our Education and Outreach programs and support our continued efforts to reach out to all our community members from our youngest kindergarten students to our seniors.
