St. Louis, MO – The National Museum of Transportation (TNMOT) extends its heartfelt gratitude to the community for generously supporting its ALL Aboard Program – an initiative that ensures every child can experience the wonder of the Museum, regardless of their ability to pay. Through ALL Aboard, TNMOT distributes Museum admission tickets and miniature train ride passes directly to partner agencies across the region.
This holiday season, because of overwhelming community support, TNMOT proudly distributed 8,000 Museum tickets to the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program. Angel Tree, founded in 1979 by Majors Charles and Shirley White, remains one of the Salvation Army’s highest-profile Christmas efforts, providing essential clothing, toys, and joy to children during the holidays.
“We love to assist an organization whose tagline includes ‘Hard Times Call for Soft Hearts,” said Terri McEachern, Executive Director at The National Museum of Transportation. “Our ALL Aboard Program is rooted in that same spirit of compassion. Thanks to our donors, thousands of children will experience a day of discovery, wonder, and joy at the Museum.”
For just $10, community members can sponsor a child’s visit to the Museum through the ALL Aboard Program by visiting tnmot.org and selecting the agency that is closest to their heart. TNMOT encourages the community to give generously and help create lasting memories for local families. Corporate sponsors include Employees Community Fund of Boeing, Union Pacific Foundation, and Walmart Spark Good.
The National Museum of Transportation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that receives no government funding. Its operations and preservation efforts rely solely on the generosity of the community. The Museum was recognized by representatives of the Smithsonian Institution as having “one of the largest and best collections of transportation vehicles in the world.” Additionally, TNMOT has been named one of the Top Five Best Outdoor Museums in the country for the past two years by the USA Today Readers’ Choice Poll.
