Our Legacy Society individuals and couples share and embrace the Museum's history and vision. They are passionate about nature and the importance of leaving a healthy natural world for future generations; they recognize the importance of the scientific research conducted by Museum curators and scientists to advance our understanding of the world in which we live and they believe that the Museum's extensive educational programs are important for lifelong learners and the thousands of young people we serve each year that will produce future generations of scientifically literate citizens.
Most importantly, Mission Creek Legacy Society members have the satisfaction of knowing that they have created a lasting legacy in support of an institution that they respect and love that will continue to provide meaningful benefits to our community and society.
