Honorariums and Memorials

A tribute gift is a meaningful way to convey sympathy to the bereaved or memorialize a loved one. Your donation to Discovery Park of America made in honor or memory of someone ensures that their legacy that extends into the far future.

Sponsor a Field Trip

A contribution of $250 to the Kirkland Scholarship Fund will pay for 100% of the cost of admission for 30 students to visit Discovery Park of America.  This fund targets schools in Tennessee where 50% or more of the students qualify for the free or reduced lunch program.
