Can't make it to the Broome Hut?  Lend your support by donating:  As a fun new fundraising project on our website, the Pixel Project allows donors to buy pixels which will reveal parts of the hut's architectural rendering. Each pixel donation will help 'build' the photo of the hut while helping to build the actual physical hut through fundraising. And best of all, it only costs $1 per pixel! Donations will visually 'build' the photo by turning the darkened photo into vibrant color. Click the link below to learn more about the Pixel Project: Pixel Project
