The Friends of Boerner Botanical Gardens
Annual Fundraising Campaign

“It is not only for us but our children and grandchildren who will reap the benefits."

~ Alfred L. Boerner

 

We respectfully request your consideration of a gift in support of our children’s plant science and environmental learning programs.

Your donation helps to insure that the lives of our children continue to be enriched through learning in a welcoming, open and supportive environment. When our children participate, they:

• Learn to use all five senses as they explore and gain understanding of nature
• Experience interactive, hands-on outdoor learning
• Participate in classes that are taught by WI state certified educators
• Absorb knowledge through experiences in the natural world
  that will result in life long learning

Your donation of:

• $50 covers the cost of supplies for one plant science class
• $100 brings a group of scouts to our outdoor classroom
• $200 provides transportation for 30 children to 2 class sessions at the gardens
• $300 gives 30 children one plant science learning experience
• $750 provides an entire grade level with our plant science classes for one year
• $1000 supports environmental awareness programming at 20 different schools
• $2500 provides an entire school with one year of programming
  at absolutely no cost to the school or students

Our children are our future. This year we served 14,895 children in the greater Milwaukee area – an 11.5% increase versus 2008.

No gift is too small, and every gift makes a difference.

Thank you in advance for your kind and generous support.
