Westmoreland County Museum is participating in “The Amazing Raise” on September 16-17 and we need your help and support. Hosted by The Community Foundation, “The Amazing Raise” is an annual two-day online giving event designed to raise the awareness of and to celebrate the work of local nonprofit organizations. The goal for the Westmoreland County Museum is to raise $10,000 which will help complete and permanently open the lower level of the Wakefield Building. Our success during the 36 hours of this special fundraising drive could have an amazing impact and difference on what we offer to our community!
Do you want to help right now?
There are 2 things that will NOT cost you a penny
yet will give us the opportunity to win grant money.
1. Watch this video on YouTube:

All you have to do is watch the entire video, like it, and share it (if you are on Facebook). If we have the most views (of the entire video), likes, and shares by noon on 9/11, we will win a $1,500 grant! If we are second, we win $500. Share this video with your friends and family, too!
2. We are competing in a “Selfies for Good” contest.
(A selfie is a photo of yourself with the approved sign showing your support of WCM on either Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #AmzgRz.) Our theme this year is “We Mustache you to Donate.”
It’s free to participate in this selfie contest and we can win $1,000.
On Wed., Sept. 16th, if WCM has the most unduplicated selfies posted on our behalf to Instagram between 9–10 am, we will receive a $1,000 prize.
On Thurs., Sept. 17th, if WCM has the most unduplicated selfies posted on our behalf to Twitter between 9–10 am, we will receive a $1,000 prize.
We need your help! Get your friends and family both near and far to take a selfie and post it to these social media sites during these dates and times. If you don’t have a Twitter or Instagram account, email us the photo ([email protected]) and we will post it.
