with Please Touch Museum® Members | Summer 2013
On Sunday, September 15th, Please Touch Museum will host its 4th Annual Stroller in the Park! This fun and playful twist on a traditional 5k walk in beautiful Fairmount Park was created exclusively for families with young children. After the stroll, participants will enjoy access to an informative and resourceful health pavilion (presented by Whole Foods Market), healthy snack tent, play activities, plus receive exclusive early access into Please Touch Museum. Participants will also receive an event t-shirt and other great giveaways. This family-friendly walk is an anchor event for PTM’s Get Up and Grow™ initiative, which promotes healthy family activities for children and their caregivers.

What’s your legacy? Mrs. Dorrance H. Hamilton and her family personally invite you and your family to participate in Please Touch Museum’s Legacy of Play™, an exciting new $30 million fundraising campaign to ensure that the Museum will always be a place where families can play, learn and create lifelong memories. To ignite the campaign, Mrs. Hamilton, a longtime supporter of PTM, has issued a challenge for the Museum to match her generous donation of $1 million. The motivation behind her investment in the Museum’s long-term sustainability are the memories she and generations of her family share of PTM. As the Museum has grown, her family has grown with it, and soon it will be her grandchildren’s turn to teach their children about good nutrition in the supermarket, paint in the Program Room, and see shows in PTM’s Playhouse Theater. Mrs. Hamilton knows that for all that the Museum has grown, our core has never changed. Children that visit now experience the same playful learning as her grandchildren, and she has seen firsthand the difference it can make in a child’s life. Please Touch Museum’s hope, along with Mrs. Hamilton’s, is for Museum supporters and all families in the Philadelphia region to create a legacy that will serve thousands of families for years to come, building brighter futures for our children and enhancing the quality of life in our city. Philadelphia’s children’s museum, our museum, needs everyone’s help to secure its ability to continue delivering high-quality education and community outreach programs, and creating engaging, imaginative exhibits for future generations.
