CMA Giving Day
Wed, 6/6
Donate
CMA is hosting its annual Giving Day TODAY, June 6, in honor of the museum’s 102nd birthday. Presented in the middle of the museum’s spring annual appeal campaign, CMA Giving Day is a 24-hour philanthropic challenge to the community. All contributions from CMA Giving Day will go to the Annual Fund, which provides the museum with vital support for programs, exhibitions, and conservation of the collection. Help us spread the word about this initiative by telling your family and friends. Join the museum on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for CMA Giving Day with the hashtag #GivingDayatCMA. Be sure to visit our selfie station today in front of The Thinker at the museum’s south entrance so you can snap a photo and share the reasons why you support the CMA!
