Description:

Creative Discovery Museum is presenting “Helping Hands” this holiday season. Created locally by Museum staff, the exhibit is dedicated to showing that giving and helping others is fun. Each child and family who visits the exhibit will have the opportunity to help others -- locally, nationally, and globally -- while learning about the importance of philanthropy and that every gift can make a difference.

“Giving doesn’t just happen. It has to be modeled and taught,” said Dr. Jayne Griffin, Director of Education for the Museum. “We need to teach children about the joy of giving. When they learn to meet the needs of others, they learn more about themselves, too. That’s one way they gain self esteem.”

The development of this exhibit was originally funded by the Benwood Foundation, Lyndhurst Foundation, United Way of Greater Chattanooga, Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga and Maclellan Foundation.

Museum admission is $9.95 for children and adults. For more information, call (423) 756-2738 or visit www.cdmfun.org.
