H.R. Macmillan Space Centre Dedicate-A-Star Initiative
Inspire curiosity, celebrate a special occasion, or pay tribute with a dedicated star. The Space Centre's Dedicate-a-Star program is a unique opportunity to give a distinctive gift to family, friends, co-workers, or clients. It is a way to commemorate a birth, birthday, wedding, anniversary, memorial or tribute. Stars make great employee incentives, retirement gifts, or other corporate achievements, activities and rewards.
Each Dedicate-a-Star package includes a personalized star dedication certificate, information about the constellation, a star map showing the star’s location and a tax receipt for your donation. Donation amounts start at $50 for a 5th magnitude star, and go up to $500 for a 1st magnitude star. Stars are brighter with higher values.
For donations starting at $50, you can dedicate a star to a loved one, while supporting the Space Centre’s programming, exhibits and activities in the areas of Earth science, space science and astronomy. It’s a gift that will last forever.
The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre is a not-for-profit community resource that brings the wonders of space to Earth, while providing a personal sense of ongoing discovery. Through innovative programming, exhibits and activities, the goal of the Space Centre is to inspire sustained interest in the fields of Earth science, space science and astronomy. You can find them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
“Interest in our Dedicate-a-Star initiative has really grown in recent years,” says Raylene Marchand, Executive Director, Space Centre. “We are seeing more and more people wanting to give unique, environmentally-friendly gifts, along with a worldwide, renewed interest in supporting space education and discovery. We know our Dedicate-a-Star program hits the mark on both.”
The Dedicate a Star Program does not represent an official astronomical designation.
My husband is a selfless man, he takes such good care of his family. He has always been my most trickiest gift as he often says how he has everything he could ever need. When I came across H.R. Macmillan's new Dedicate-a-Star intiative, I knew he'd love and appreciate it. I swear this is the perfect gift to give someone who has everything!
I chose the constellation, Capricornus as both of us are Capricorns. He loved that his gift came with a certificate, a map, some fun information regarding the constellation and a personal note from me.
Thank you, H.R. Macmillan for the opportunity to gift my husband a truly unique gift.
