TARGET SCHOOL TOURS
Target Foundation recently awarded the Hilliard a grant underwriting free admission for K-12 students attending the museum through an organized school field trip. Given the fiscal limitations of our local schools and families, Target is making this important educational experience possible for over 1,000 children throughout Acadiana. We are delighted to partner with Target Stores in bringing school groups through the museum galleries. This grant is part of ongoing efforts by Target to strengthen families and communities throughout the country. Since 1946, Target has given 5 percent of its income to communities. Today, that giving equals more than $3 million every week. Write to schedule your tour!
