The Bloomsburg Children’s Museum is pleased to announce it has received a $14,000 grant from the PPL Foundation. These funds will support many of the admission-free community events the Bloomsburg Children’s Museum produces each year.
Funds from this grant will be used to produce the BloomCON Hak4Kidz hacking conference (March 2nd , 2024), the Bloomsburg Maker Faire STEAM festival (April 20th, 2024), the Museum’ 6th-12th grade competitive science fair (January 18th, 2024), and the annual Juried High School Art Show (March 29th, 2024), and SWORD at the Museum annual battlebot tournament (July 27th, 2024).
“Our mission is to serve our community,” Dr. Ginny Weibel, Museum Director said. “The PPL Foundation makes it possible for us to meet this goal. The programs this grant funds serve over 12,000 people each year. We would never be able to produce free events at such a high quality without support from organizations like the PPL Foundation.”
