We are so grateful to the Shoreline Astronomical Society for creating this wonderful opportunity for our Madison ABC scholars!

Through this special community partnership, funds are being raised to provide the ABC House with its own telescope, along with hands-on instruction and observing nights with members of the Society.

What an incredible way to spark curiosity, inspire learning and open up a whole new world for our scholars. We are continually grateful for a community that finds such meaningful ways to support them.

A heartfelt thank you to Chuck Lindahl Excavating for generously donating the excavation work for our recent propane line repair, saving Madison ABC a significant expense and allowing more of our resources to go directly toward supporting our Scholars.

Chuck is a proud Daniel Hand graduate who attended Hand alongside many Madison ABC Scholars, as has his children. As a lifelong member of our community, Chuck stepped up simply because he believes in our mission.

Thank you, Chuck, for your generosity, your kindness, and for investing in the future of our community. We’re so grateful for your support!
