Museum at the Crossroads
The group figures an already-planned Dinosaur Ball fundraiser in October might raise $10,000. A “grassroots effort” proposed by a new fundraising committee laid out other possibilities, including a “Night at the Museum” party with a DJ, food and alcohol. They’ll look into grants and foundation support, and ask the local Indian tribes for money — and yes, they plan on approaching Stephen Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob SquarePants.

I wanted to take a moment to update for those interested in the effort to save the museum. We have a blog: http://savethenorthcoastnhm.blogspot.com that has the most updated information about our efforts.
To date we have pledges raising upwards of $40,000 and also a pledged trailer for extra office space.
You can also find us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/savencnhm and on Facebook.
We have also launched an online pledge form www.savethenorthcoastnhm.org and encourage everyone to pledge.
I encourage everyone to visit the blog to get information about our upcoming events to fundraise for the museum. Our group is dedicated, excited and spirited - buoyed not only by our effort to contact SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg (if you know him, send him our way!) but also by the immense amount of community support we have already received.
Thank You,
Cutcha Baldy
