The Mint Museum Auxiliary has a long and celebrated history with the Mint Museum.  Organized in 1956, the Auxiliary was formed to receive and administer funds exclusively for the Mint Museum.  The Auxiliary raises money through the annual Mint To Be Yours Tag Sale and the Room To Bloom spring celebration.  Proceeds go to purchase acquisitions for the museum and to fund educational projects.  Auxiliary members provide service hours to various projects that benefit the museum and participate in Auxiliary events.  Active and Associate members may sponsor or co-sponsor candidates who show an interest in the museum and a willingness to participate in programs and projects that benefit the museum.
