1.) Tell everyone you know, and get excited!
2.) Donate! Opening a discovery center is not a cheap project. We want to offer the best we can to your children and every dollar donated goes directly to PCDC exhibit and operating expenses!
3.) Volunteer! Joining a committee to participate in fundraising, planning events, use your skills to help further this project! Volunteers will be in great need once a building is secured and in need of paint/renovation. Contact us to learn more about how YOU can help or fill out this form to be added to our volunteer list!
