Mission: Hero’s STEAM Center’s mission is to serve as a place to Create, Explore, Innovate and Share Knowledge in Red Lodge, MT. This is where experimenting is play, and things you imagine making, doing, or learning may be possible!
What are you fundraising for this year?
We are fundraising this year so we may continue operating the STEAM Center and Observatory where we offer a variety of Youth Programs and Public events for our community. Last year we paid $8,464 dollars/year to rent the Hero’s STEAM room and insure our facilities. 2025 rent and insurance rates have increased.
What impact will funds have on your mission and community?
Fun Run funds directly support after-school and summer youth programs and Whistler Observatory openings that are not normally available in smaller, rural towns. Our programs and activities are free to the community or with only minor fees to ensure that cost is never a barrier. We bring good things to the Red Lodge area, powered by volunteers, donations, and grants.
If you participated last year, what did you use the funds for?
Last year’s Funds from the Fun Run were used to pay the rent for room 204 in the Roosevelt Center and to pay for the Liability and Property Insurance for both the STEAM Center and the Whistler Observatory.
Fundraising Goal: $9,000
