Support our Mission

Join the Woodstock, IL Challenger Center's partnership of individuals, corporations, and foundations that share a concern about the future of our nation's youth. Together, we can continue our education mission and bring the excitement of learning to thousands of young people and their teachers.

I had an excellent time at the Challenger Center. I got to be the Navigator. The hardest part was when I had to find the exact spot to launch the probe. At first, I thought it was going to be easy. Then I realized it was really hard. When it was done, I knew my class had done something very difficult, and that we had worked together to accomplish it.

arrowThe Challenger Learning Center of Woodstock is an integral part of the northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin communities.  Each school year, more than 10,000 students travel to the Woodstock Challenger Learning Center to Fly a Mission. 

For this to be possible, the Woodstock Challenger Learning Center must continue to raise funds and maintain a prudent fiscal policy that supports the state of the art facility, employing quality and professional staff, continued education for our staff and volunteers, and all other related operating expenses.

Thus, the generous personal and corporate contributions that we receive from the McHenry, Lake and the Chicago-land and the Southern Wisconsin area, goes directly to supporting our mission of providing valuable math and science experiences in a professional and stimulating environment.

As a donor, you will receive our semi-annual newsletter, The Communicator, interesting program and activity updates through e-mail.  Please join us in our mission and the Woodstock Challenger Center offers several methods that allow you to contribute to our mission and we rely on your generous donations to support a large percentage of the Center's operating budget.

Thank you for your kind and generous support.
