Annual Campaign

In 2008 the HCHS implemented an annual end-of-the-year fundraising campaign. Due to the generosity of our donors, HCHS has raised approximately $100,000 for maintenance and upkeep of the buildings and grounds, preservation and expansion of the collection, and strengthening of services to the community through history-related programs.

In 2011 the annual campaign theme is "The Past Fuels the Future" and the goal is to raise $45,000 to support the mission of the society. James Long, a member of the historical Society, gave the lead gift with a generous donation of $10,000. In addition, NIPSCO formally known as Kokomo Gas and Fuel will be our corporate sponsor and has donated $3,000 to help "Fuel our Future."

This years Christmas ornament will be a replica of the Kokomo Gas Tower landmark. Proceeds from the ornaments will go toward the campaign goal. The ornaments are available at the museum gift shop for $20.00 each and there are only 250 available.

Jeff Watson, owner of J Watson Creations has made a beautiful one of a kind pendent with pieces from the Kokomo Gas Tower. If you would like to purchase a 1 in 300 chance to win this one-of-a kind pendent, just call the historical society at (765)452-4314.

Please consider making a donation to the Howard County Historical Society by December 31, 2011.
