Giving Tuesday Feature Fund
The May 4 Visitors Center is a featured fund for the Kent State Giving Tuesday campaign this year! The Center benefits from extra boosts and matches during the campaign to raise funds to pay our student interns.
For every 25 unique donors who give $25 or more, the Center gets an extra $500 boost to reach our goal of $5,000.
Almost 2,800 KSU freshman toured the Center last school year and were able to make personal connections to the spirit of May 4. Our student interns lead these tours and get to engage their peers in local history. Your support helps us to continue this work and share May 4's impact on student lives today.

On August 24, 2023 strong storm winds caused trees to fall damaging the May 4 Memorial. Granite panels from South Dakota were recently installed and repairs are complete. Read about the refreshed May 4 National Historic Landmark Site Tour improvements and repairs here.
