The Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area is excited to kick off our Annual Giving Tuesday Campaign where you can “Be Yuma’s Future by Investing in Its Past”.  Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 to help enhance the visitor experience at the Colorado River State Historic Park, Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park and the Yuma East Wetlands.

 

Giving Tuesday is a powerful national day of giving, raising funds and generating awareness after Black Friday and Cyber Monday.   You can help the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area enhance the experience at both parks through the  creation of new diverse exhibits highlighting local families that utilized the Colorado River for agriculture and ranching at the Colorado River State Historic Park(CRSHP) utilizing the latest in audio and visual technology. There is also a new tribal exhibit in the works.   Your investment will help reach completion by late January 2022.   The Yuma Territorial Prison (YTP) is need of new lighting and restrooms to make it more available for nighttime events, as well as possible evening hours for general admission.  Of course, we can always use assistance to beautify and maintain the Yuma East Wetlands overlooks and trails.

 

By donating and supporting the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area, you are helping us reach our goal of preserving, restoring, maintaining and promoting Yuma’s historical riverfront for the generations to come.  One way that you can invest in all of the above, is through the purchase of an YCNHA annual pass, good for a calendar year at both state historic parks.  These passes are available online at www.yumaheritage.com, at both the CRSHP and YTP, as well as the Heritage Center offices.

 

We appreciate your time, talent and/or treasure.  To donate, you can visit our website at www.yumaheritage.com or mail in your donation the following address:
