In an extraordinary show of support for community education and the arts, the Barancik Foundation has stepped forward with a remarkable offer for the Sarasota Children’s Museum. Through their generosity, every dollar raised towards our innovative “Wander to Wonder: Mobile Museum Fundraiser” will be matched up to $5,000. This initiative not only showcases the foundation’s commitment to fostering educational opportunities but also paves the way for an ambitious project that promises to bring learning to life in new and exciting ways.

“Wander to Wonder” is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a vision for a mobile museum that will travel across Sarasota, bringing interactive learning experiences directly to our community’s children. This dynamic approach to education is designed to ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and instill a lifelong love of learning. With activities ranging from the tactile exploration of Remake Learning Days to the narrative enchantment of Storybook Street, and even a summer-long partnership with a local museum, the mobile museum is set to offer a diverse palette of educational experiences.

The Barancik Foundation’s matching challenge not only doubles the impact of every donation but also creates a sense of urgency and community spirit. With a deadline of April 1st to reach our $5,000 goal, the race is on to ensure that this dream becomes a reality. The funds raised will directly contribute to purchasing materials and resources necessary to bring this mobile museum to life, offering countless children the chance to engage with hands-on activities that span the realms of science, art, literature, and beyond.
