In the first 12 days of the Giant Step Campaign, we've raised almost $35,000! This means we only have to raise a little more than $15,000 in the next 33 days to receive a $50,000 matching grant! When we reach our goal, we'll build the Imaginarium—a beautiful and whimsical year-round space that will grow our capacity for programming...
