Indiana Wins!

We witnessed an inspired effort from all 8 states in the final days of the State Competition, but there can be only one winner! Rallying 15 additional contributions in 24 hours from their state alone, #ProudMuseumPeople in Indiana established an insurmountable lead over their top competitors in Minnesota and Illinois.


Congratulations to our new State Competition champions!


We are humbled by the outpouring of support we saw from the Midwest and beyond this year. Thanks to your generosity, we not only raised $22,000 for the Annual Fund but also set a brand new record with over 100 total individual contributions, membership upgrades, and Proud Museum Person pin purchases!


THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to everyone who contributed in 2024 and, of course, to our State Captains for leading the effort. Our hearts are filled with gratitude in this New Year!

Prizes

We see you, Indiana! You've earned ultimate bragging rights. We'll celebrate your state all year long, including VIP recognition at the 2025 Conference in the Quad Cities. Everyone will know how awesome you are!


Everyone who made a gift to the AMM Annual Fund in 2024 will receive an invitation to a special gathering during the conference.


Indiana and Illinois participants have also been entered in a drawing for prizes from their state captains, who will be in touch with winners directly.

THANK YOU!
