Fossil Fuel Fund
The Milwaukee Public Museum is proud to be one of the charities benefited by the 2011 Miracle on Canal Street, an annual signature community program at Potawatomi Bingo Casino. The 2011 program raised a total of $989,239, of which $32,481 was given to the Milwaukee Public Museum to benefit our educational programming in 2012. Special thanks go to WISN-12 for choosing us as their signature charity and helping make this happen.
Through support of the Miracle on Canal Street funds, students, teachers and chaperones can add an education program or Daniel M. Soref Planetarium show to their visit for free!
