Giving Tuesday 2023

Giving Tuesday is “a movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world.”

We already know the power of the generosity shown by our crew and supporters. We wouldn’t be here without it, and if we didn’t have it, the world would miss the difference we all make together.

On this Giving Tuesday, we invite you to flex your philanthropy muscles by supporting Battleship IOWA and the National Museum of the Surface Navy, and we’ve got several ways in which you can do it.
