What would you think of your company’s name mentioned in the same breath as one of Worcester’s most beloved institutions? Here’s your chance! The Higgins Armory Museum is seeking sponsors to for our acclaimed Education Programs, and we hope that you will consider becoming one. For a relatively small investment, you can help to bring a world-class collection and dynamic interactive experiences to tens of thousands of people throughout New England. More than 60,000 visited us last year, and we look forward to even more in 2013.
The connection between visitors and the extraordinary objects that make up this, the most significant collection of knightly armor outside of Europe, is what makes the Higgins Armory Museum a really special place. Our highly interactive programs bring the Renaissance and ancient cultures to life. We offer compelling experiences that engage visitors, and open the door to learning as an adventure.
We promote our special education programs and monthly events through a variety of media all year long. The earlier we have a commitment from a program sponsor, the earlier we can begin to promote YOUR business, along with the excitement of “Star Wars Day,” “Women in Armor Month,” “Veterans Day,” and “Middle Earth Day,” just to name a few. A wide variety of programs are available. Enclosed you’ll find a menu of the programs we will be offering in 2013. We hope you will consider becoming a sponsor of one or more, and help us to bring the magic of the Higgins to life.
This world class collection was created through the vision and passion of one man, but the enduring strength and magic of the Higgins Armory Museum comes from our sponsors and donors. Please consider sponsoring one of the many 2013 Education Programs at the Higgins today.
