The Buffalo Bill Center of the West is excited to announce that the MILES Program is our fundraising focus for WyoGives this year. Gifts to the Museum Interpretation, Learning and Enrichment for Students program will provide scholarships to K – 12 schools across the Rocky Mountain West to help reimburse travel costs associated with visiting the Center.
Donate through WyoGives on July 10.
More about MILES:
• Scholarships fully or partially cover lodging and transportation costs.
• More than 17,000 students (roughly the seating capacity of Madison Square Garden!) have benefited so far.
• The 2024 – 25 school year will mark the program’s 25th year.
• Visits include museum admission and a guided tour from our Education Department.
• Guided tours help teachers meet their curriculum requirements.
• For many students, this is the first trip they have taken outside their hometown.

If you’ve ever visited the Center of the West to see our exhibits and interpretive experiences you’ll understand the treasure and value of the collections and stories we tell. We hope you’ll choose to support us—as a private non-profit organization we must rely on foundations, specific grant opportunities, and thousands of donors like you to keep us moving forward.
