Give the Gift of an Experience

From its beginning the Hull Lifesaving Museum's Summer Adventure Program has provided scholarships to youth who otherwise would not have the opportunity to attend. It is our desire to enhance that program and broaden its reach. Our goal is to remove the financial barrier for those who are in need of assistance. Your donation to the Summer Adventure Fund allows us to make our program stronger and more accessible. Each donation of $100.00 can provide a child with the opportunity to learn and grow in the outdoors. All donations are tax deductible.Donate Now
