A HUGE thank you to our incredible Rotarian, Alan Abraham, whose generosity continues to make a big impact at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum Trunk-or-Treat event each year!

Alan has been a true community champion, giving effortlessly and without hesitation to support our mission of bringing joy to kids and families. Thanks to his gift, the museum was able to hand out candy to 1,231 children and 1,582 adults—a total of 1,999 smiles!

But the magic didn’t stop there. Alan’s contribution also helped welcome almost 700 visitors into the museum for a 3-hour trick-or-treat event filled with fun, laughter, and memories.

Thank you, Alan, for your continued support and for helping create such a special experience for the community. We are so grateful for your kindness and dedication to making a difference in the lives of children and families in Grand Rapids ... See MoreSee Less
