#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of
individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to
celebrate generosity worldwide. Following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized
shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this year’s #GivingTuesday will
take place on November 27th and will kick off the giving season by inspiring people
to collaborate and give back.

With your support, 426,597 explorers have been served with our world-class, hands-on, interactive STEM-based exhibits and “EDUtaining “programs” since our opening in May 2011.  We’re on target to serve 100,000 in 2018, a 15% increase over 2017.  Thank you!

• Hands-on because many students develop their career choice aptitudes between 4^th and 6^th
• Interactive to help students of all ages strengthen their problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
• STEM-based to provide students the space to experiment, to get the skills that an uncertain future demands of us, our children and their children.

Our Board of Directors joins us in inviting you to make a year-end, tax-deductible donation today.  Yes, tax laws have changed, but your donation could still provide a tax benefit!  One suggestion we can offer is to donate larger amounts every other or every third year instead of annually to help you reach itemizing your deductions for that year.  Also, remember that if you are over 70 1/2 years old, you can satisfy the annual IRA withdrawal requirement by directly transferring money to a public charity tax-free.

Regardless of how you go about it, your investment in our mission ensures OH WOW! will continue to offer high-quality programming at an affordable, family-friendly price in 2019 and beyond.
