| Discovery Center Staff Take the Plunge in Cold Dip Fundraiser on April 11 |
| Join us for a fun new way to support the Discovery Center at our Discovery Center Cold Dip Fundraiser! Donate to support staff teams as they take the plunge into the icy waters of Statehouse Lake, helping us reach our goal of raising $10,000 to support ongoing operations and the programs, facilities, and natural areas that make the Discovery Center such a special place. |
| All donors are invited to attend the plunge at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 11 at our beach on Statehouse Lake, those giving $100 or more also welcomed to a soup social in the Historic YCC Lodge immediately following. Each team will also be competing for top donor support, and the highest donor from each group – Admin & Maintenance, Programs, and Woods & Water – will receive a special prize (see below). |
| Admin and Maintenance Team: Represented by Don and Emily, the top donor for this team will win a fresh-caught Northern Wisconsin fish fry for four people. The meal will be prepared by Discovery Center staff and will include all the traditional fish fry accoutrements — and then some.
Naturalist Team: Licia, Jenna and Hannah will provide their top donor with one interpretive experience of the donor’s choice for up to four people. Experiences may either be a guided paddle, hike, or pontoon cruise (boat not included) at your local destination of choice. Woods and Water Team: The top donor for this team, Abby and Lydia, will receive a private plant ecology and collection walk on their property, culminating in a custom created artwork inspired by the landscape. |
| Use the button below to donate online, call 715-543-2085 to donate over the phone, or stop in and drop off your donation in person! Donation total will be updated at noon every weekday until April 11. |
