Kevin Burge Museum Legacy Fund

Kevin Burge was the Ultimate Museum Champion!

He joined the Children's Museum of Yuma County Board of Directors in 2014 and over the past eight years worked tirelessly to make the dream of a museum a reality in his hometown. During his tenure, he served as President, Vice President, and Treasurer and was instrumental in helping the organization grow including recruiting and hiring the first two executive directors to lead the museum. Most importantly, behind the scenes he could be found helping to secure funding for the organization, brainstorming new creative exhibits, moving/setting up/tearing down exhibits, and volunteering at outreach events. For the past 3.5 years, he shared his engineering expertise as we located and began renovating our permanent museum home which is scheduled to open later in 2022 at 200 S. Main St. in Downtown Yuma.

The museum's success is due in large part to Kevin's tireless efforts over the past eight years and we thank him for his dedication and years of friendship. Donations to the Kevin Burge Museum Legacy Fund will help the museum to open to benefit the children and families throughout Yuma County for many years to come.
