Betty Brinn Children's Museum: Spring Flex Charity Partner
Sendik's and Betty Brinn Children's Museum partnered in honor of Sendik's Centennial anniversary to update and renovate their 15-year-old exhibit at the museum.
By transforming an outdated space into a modern, dynamic environment, we ensured local children have continued access to a top-tier, engaging early childhood development resource. The new exhibit features a dedicated Historical Area and an interactive, replicated Model T delivery truck. This hands-on feature allows children to physically engage with local history, blending regional heritage with active play to spark curiosity about their community's roots. Focused heavily on practical education, the exhibit includes a modern Point of Sale (POS) system. By role-playing as cashiers and shoppers in a simulated grocery environment, children build essential life skills like basic math, financial literacy, and social cooperation.
Plus through the generosity of our customers and the round up campaign Sendik's raised $115,000 for the museum’s general use fund.
Total raised: $115,000
