Greetings from Genesee Country Village & Museum! We would like to take this opportunity to tell you about our annual fundraiser, and ask that you participate.

The Whirl, a 19th-century name for a 21st-century party, is GCV&M’s largest fundraiser, attracting more than 350 guests. Community leaders, business owners, philanthropists, and friends of the Museum come together for the evening to celebrate our connections to history, art, and nature – raising much-needed funds to support the Museum’s educational mission and daily work bringing our shared history to life. Guests will have a chance to see demonstrations from our Village artisans, bid on live and silent auction items, and enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a farm-to-table dinner, all in the middle of New York State’s largest living history museum.

We hope that you will consider donating an item or gift certificate to be used in our silent auction. Your support of this event not only helps to provide critical resources that sustain our year-round programs and the preservation of our extensive collections, but also puts your products and name in the center of the most unique fundraiser of the year.
