Become A Mud Buddy
Make a mark without the mess — become a Mud Buddy
Mud Buddies are the generous, clay-loving champions who Contribute simply because they believe in what we’re building (literally)! Whether it's $5, $10, $20, or more, your gift helps us lay the foundation—one scoop of mud at a time.
Every Mud Buddy will have their name featured proudly on our website as a thank-you for being part of the magic. Because sometimes, the greatest impact comes with no strings attached—just a whole lot of heart.
