Holiday Giving Challenge

Holiday Giving Campaign

This holiday season, your generosity can have a real impact. This year, our Holiday Giving Campaign is focused on raising funds for an important cause - significant and critical building upgrades at Akron Fossils & Science Center. As we approach our 20th anniversary, we want to honor our past, celebrate where we are today, and look forward to the future. We’re committed to being responsible stewards of the resources we’ve been entrusted with, and we’re proud to remain debt-free. However, to maintain this status and continue to grow, we need your support. Your donations will help fund essential improvements, including a new roof, updated vinyl fencing, refreshed exterior signage, and a potential room addition at the back of the building. The total cost of these upgrades is approximately $100,000.

Your gift, no matter the size, will make a significant difference this year because your support goes twice as far! Thanks to a generous donor, every dollar you contribute will be matched 1:1 up to $10,000, effectively doubling the impact of your donation. This matching opportunity is available now through December 31st, 2024, so don’t wait – double your gift today! 

Whether you choose to donate money, select a gift from our Amazon Wish List, or offer your time as a volunteer, every contribution is valuable. By participating in our Holiday Giving Campaign, you’ll help us continue to keep science education both fun and meaningful. Together, we can reach our end-of-the-year goal and raise $20,000 to continue AFSC’s mission of providing quality, balanced, affordable and hands-on science educational opportunities to those in Summit County and surrounding communities.
