Finny's Friends

    Finny the Whale invites you to join an exclusive club of monthly donors to the GRPM.

    From as low as $5 a month, Finny’s Friends make a difference. They help keep program fees for Camp Curious, field trips, and other educational experiences low. Finny’s friends help keep our community’s history alive.  

    By joining Finny’s Friends with a monthly gift, you are helping the Museum continue to spark curiosity for all, at a cost that is affordable for schools and families.

    As a thank you for joining Finny’s Friends, you will receive two free admission passes to the Museum!

    To join, simply fill out the form below and pat yourself on the back. You’ve successfully joined Finny’s Friends! Below are a few examples of what your gift can help support.
