We are proud to announce that the Patricia Kisker Foundation has awarded a $15,000 grant to BCM for field trip scholarships for students in underserved areas during 2017.

The grant will fund educational visits to the museum by public and parochial students in schools with 50%+ free or reduced lunch participation.

“Our goal for this funding is to reach 2500 students, providing them a foundation in their cultural heritage,” BCM executive director Laurie Risch said.

“We are extremely grateful to the Kisker Foundation for their shared vision for the wellbeing of our youth and for making this possible.”

Schools interested in participating in the program should contact BCM Education Director Kim Gehring-Cook at 859-491- 4003.
