Honorarium Gift
Trying to decide what gift to give a loved one? Perhaps a donation to the Barrier Islands Center in their honor would be appreciated. Holidays, birthdays, weddings, graduations, anniversaries, or retirements are all reasons for honoring someone with a meaningful gift
Memorial Gift
A memorial donation is a thoughtful way of honoring the memory of someone you care deeply about. Continue their legacy in a way your loved one would have appreciated by supporting the Barrier Islands Center.
Preserve
The BIC is pleased to consider your authentic artifact or photo from the Barrier Islands as a gift or loan to the museum. While we are unable to accept every item due to limited space, we would love to learn more about any artifact you might have - as well as the stories behind them. Please contact Kristen Dennis to discuss your artifact.
