Raptor Run Sponsorship

Join as sponsors of the Raptor Run 5K to benefit The Missouri Institute of Natural Science and Riverbluff Cave!

The Institute depends directly upon the support and generosity of its sponsors to continue:

​

• Our ability to look for fossils in the Riverbluff Cave, (the oldest Ice Age cave in North America, where we have already unearthed fossils of a Mammoth).

• Our ability to provide educational programs to school children in Grades K­12 as well to homeschoolers, and the general public.

• Our collections. Our natural history specimens from Riverbluff Cave, Missouri, the United States and from around the world are the heart of our Museum’s collections. Your funds will improve our ability to preserve, grow and sustain our collections, which is vital for the long­term health of the Museum.

• Our ability to conduct research. Your funding will fuel our ability to study the fossils we unearth and the specimens of plants and animals we collect, enabling us to interpret the natural history of Missouri in a manner that will allow us all to be better stewards of the ecosystems that make up the precious web of life on our planet.

• Our ability to interpret Missouri’s natural history within a regional and global context in a manner that is relevant, useful, educational and entertaining to all patrons.
