Request a Ticket Donation
In general the Museum makes donations of admission tickets and memberships to other organizations stating an educational purpose. It is preferable that these groups be local to the East bay as the thought behind donating is to be a good and supportive neighbor. The Museum supports car clubs, other automobile museums and organizations dedicated to preserving classic cars and those groups who promote automobile hobbyists and enthusiasts. The Museum allots 12 packs of 4 tickets to be sent out each month. Donations may be made to other organizations if there remains a balance of tickets set aside for donations.
