Mission of the Hospital and Museum
The Nutcracker Hospital/Museum is one fund-raising arm for The Maskeraides ™ Foundation. We use monies received from nutcracker donations to supplement costs to provide masks for child oncology patients, provide masks to schools in lower income areas (K – 6), (and upon request) consideration is given for children with allergies and/or respiratory challenges as funds allow.
​
Any donated nutcracker will be displayed for all to enjoy. We have a contributor recognition area. This area recognizes you (or a name you provide) as a contributor to the museum. We want to acknowledge and thank those who help us fulfill our cause! The Nutcracker Hospital and Museum accepts all kinds of nutcrackers and smokers. We can provide a donation receipt 501(c)3 income tax charitable contribution for any smoker and/or nutcracker you wish to donate. When duplicates are received, we resell any duplicates and those funds go into the foundation. When we receive “gently used” or “heavily loved” nutcrackers, we work directly with the various factories in Germany, or other parts of the world, to refurbish these pieces of art and add to the collection. No donation is too small or too worn! That is where our “hospital” comes into play!
​
The Museums 2024 launch is scheduled for late 2024. We have ~+1500 nutcrackers and smokers of all shapes & sizes. We would love to provide a permanent home for your beloved pieces so future generations of children can enjoy! Please feel free to use the "Contact Us" section of the website for any questions you may have!
