Frequently Asked Questions about The Masked Singer:
Why is this event held at night when you’re a children’s museum?
This event is actually just for the grown-ups. Once or twice a year, we like to celebrate the magic of our museum with the adults who support us. Because we will have alcohol available and subject matter that may not be appropriate for our youngest friends, we ask you to call the kids’ favorite babysitter and let them party together for that evening.
What is your fundraising goal for this year?
Great question, glad you asked! Our starting goal is $100,000. Yes, we know. That’s a lot of zeroes. Let us explain.
We are proud owners of one of Ludington’s beautiful historic buildings and take great responsibility as stewards of this space. To ensure a quality environment and financial sustainability for generations to come, we are launching a campaign to install a solar panel farm on our roof.
