Children’s Museum Commercial

Assignment 5: Television Announcement (Commercial or PSA)

Join us on June 6th to raise money for the Children’s Discovery Museum in Normal,

Illinois. This museum is loved by children and especially parents because it is inspiring the love

of learning through the power of play. Their mission is accomplished by providing hands-on

exhibits, classes, and programs to children of all ages. We will be hosting a movie night to raise

money for our museum. It will begin at 7 p-m on the uptown quad right across from the museum.

We will be showing Finding Dory so bring your whole family! We will provide popcorn and

lemonade as well. A five-dollar fee is required for children under twelve and a fifteen-dollar fee

for those who are thirteen and older. This money will go to renovating the museum and to help

fund new exhibits for better hands on experience. If you are unable to make it but still wish to

donate, you can visit www.childrensdiscoverymuseum.net or call 309-433-3444 with any

questions. We greatly appreciated your help! Let’s make our town great.
