Kohl Luminaries

Become a Kohl Luminary

Your gift will help shape a brighter future for our community, inspiring young minds and empowering children.

The Kohl Luminaries Campaign gives you a chance to make an even greater impact on the lives of young children, educators, and families in Glenview and nearby communities. This holiday season, an anonymous donor has provided a generous matching gift and will double donations of $250 or more, up to $50,000. This means if you donate $250, Kohl Children’s Museum gets $500.

And, everyone who makes a gift of $1,000 or more will be added to our Kohl Luminaries wall, just inside the Museum.
