Terry Emma: Geneva History Center Announces Text-to-Donate Campaign

Just in time for the Swedish Days crowd, our windows display "Save Geneva History Text-to-Donate Now".

Now anyone can send a donation to The Geneva History Center even while walking the sidewalk sales or waiting for their favorite band to play on Third Street - right from their mobile phone.

Simply text "GHC" to 48510 and you will receive a text back with a link to an Obopay donation site (similar to PayPal).  Enter your credit/debit card information and the amount you wish to donate and click pay.

The Geneva History Center does not receive any outside funding but relies solely on support from memberships, sponsorships, bequests and donations from the community.  Knowing that anyone who lives here or visits during Swedish Days falls in love with Geneva and would want to help Save Geneva History, our Text-To-Donate campaign started at just the right time.

So if you see people with their phones out while walking down the street, remind them to text "GHC" to 48510 and Save Geneva History!
