Giavonne's Science in Our City Fundraiser

Science and the Kentucky Science Center have been integral parts of my world really all my life. From visiting the fascinating "Museum of Natural Science and History" as a child at both Whitney Young and Smyrna elementary schools to being a volunteen in the 1980s as a student at duPont Manual high school, the Kentucky Science Center was great location to grow, learn and do science. Definitely being a physician and now the mom to a 15 year old with lots of questions has allowed me to make science front and center to most of what I do on a daily basis. That's why this fundraiser is near and dear to my heart because science informs our lives in so many ways and our world needs to continue asking questions, solving problems and staying curious about the world around us. 

This year on September 18, I'm excited to be participating in Give for Good Louisville to raise funds for Kentucky Science Center's Annual Fund for Science. 

I'm aiming to raise $1000 to support Kentucky Science Center's overall goal of $35,000.

Funds raised will support our Annual Fund for Science, providing ongoing support for education programs and initiatives including:

• $500 supports Pulse of Surgery for a class of 25 students. 
• $300 takes one Science Expo to children’s and families’ neighborhoods.
• $139 supports one family with a Community Access Membership. 
• $21 supports one student's field trip admission to our Flagship Facility. 

You can help support Kentucky Science Center's Annual Fund for Science by:

• Making a gift of $10 or more to help up meet our goal. 
• Sharing your support: 
  • Click here to tell the Community Foundation of Louisville why you support Kentucky Science Center for a chance to win $100 for our organization. Submissions are due by Wednesday, September 17.

Your gift will help provide people with hands-on experiences that demonstrate the relevance of STEAM in everyday life. 

Thank you for considering a donation to support Kentucky Science Center on September 18. Your generosity is helping to ensure a future where science is accessible, exciting, and engaging for everyone!
