The Children’s Museum, located in London, Ontario recently received a $45,000 donation from Tepperman’s, to celebrate the retailers's "90th Anniversary of Giving".

Noah Tepperman, Secretary/ Treasurer & Director of Public & Community Relations, says, “From an early age, my brother Andrew and I were taught that it was our responsibility to give back to the communities that have supported us and to help ensure that children are given as many opportunities as possible. We’re so proud to continue that legacy with today’s donation.”

Andrew Tepperman, President, adds “As part of our 90th anniversary of giving, our families and our entire team are honoured to partner with the London Children’s Museum and support the creative activities they offer, enriching young lives with education and discovery.”

The Children’s Museum is a place where children learn how the world works, who they are and what they might become – all through play. This leadership commitment from Tepperman’s to the Children’s Museum new Capital Campaign will support the interactive and innovative play offered at the new Children’s Museum.

“The Children’s Museum is where families go to dream and play and where children gather to learn and grow,” says Amanda Conlon, Executive Director at the Children’s Museum. “Tepperman’s generous donation will inspire and enable creativity, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning at the Children’s Museum for years to come.”
