2016 Event Sponsorship Opportunities Each year, the National Railroad Museum hosts a variety of fundraising events and educational programs that would not be possible without the unwavering support from generous sponsors. Sponsorship contributions not only help to cover costs, but make it possible for the Museum to inspire learning by providing dynamic educational opportunities through the preservation of railroad objects, engaging exhibits and innovative programs. The Polar Express™ captures the wonder and tradition of the holiday season and is cherished by children and adults alike! The Great Bunny Train leaps onto the tracks in spring, and the fall season is welcomed with The Great Pumpkin Train! The Rails & Ales Brewfest in September features dozens of craft beer samplings, fine wines and delicious food set among the Museum’s historic locomotives! Sponsorship opportunities are now available for Summer Railroad Camp and Holiday on the Rails! We are grateful for support from our amazing sponsors and are pleased to offer a wide range of sponsor benefits and recognition. Customized sponsorships are also available based on sponsor needs.
