Naming Opportunities

We invite donors to designate their campaign contribution to the following naming opportunities. Naming donors will generally be identified on an engraved plaque mounted on the selected item however, the identification method may be modified depending on the item you choose. We also intend to install a plaque recognizing all donors to the campaign in Discovery Hall. One naming opportunity is available per donor and it may be any value up to your contribution amount. An exception applies to the named metal leaves in which case multiple leaves may be purchased. Please note; the images used in our descriptions are generally representative of the items and the actual item will vary.

You may also choose to designate your campaign contribution to a specific sponsorship opportunity! By selecting a sponsorship item you will know exactly what your donation is funding. Sponsors will be recognized on our website and on a plaque in the completed Discovery Hall.
