Abstract

Creativity for Change sought to spark excitement about education in children of all backgrounds by promoting greater access to local educational opportunities. In particular, we partnered with the Lewisburg’s Children's Museum and their Count Me In Program, which is dedicated to allowing discounted or free admission to the museum for children and families in need. Our company created and managed two events on what the Museum calls “ex-STREAM Saturdays”: the activities centered on science, technology, robotics, engineering, art, and mathematics. As a way for Creativity for Change to leave a long-lasting impact on the Museum, we also customized a Bucknell-themed bookshelf, made Lewisburg Children’s Museum pillows, and purchased a beanbag chair and a rug to furnish a cozy reading corner in the Museum where kids can spark their imagination and curiosity through books. In addition to our service work, we held multiple fundraising events to benefit the Count Me In Program. We held two “Paint Nights”: For a participation fee, budding artists were guided in creating paintings of sunset over the Bertrand Library tower by one of our artistically talented company members. Local Market Street restaurants sweetFrog and Pizza Phi provided us with a percentage of their sales on a night when we promoted their restaurant. Donors learned about and gave money to our cause by playing Instagram Bingo. And we set up a Givebutter page that allowed for additional online donations. In total we were able to raise $5,961.87 for the Count Me In Program. Creativity for Change is proud of the work, and fully believes that we left a positive impact on our local community, allowing for children from all backgrounds to prosper through the invaluable educational opportunities offered by the Lewisburg Children’s Museum.
