The non-profit Vulcan Park Foundation on Tuesday announced a new specialty license plate is now available for preorder to residents of Alabama who want to show their support of Birmingham’s Vulcan Park & Museum.
The State of Alabama recently approved Vulcan Park & Museum to begin securing commitments for its new ‘STAND WITH VULCAN’ specialty license plate.
The tag, if it secures the necessary support, would provide valuable funding to support Vulcan Park & Museum’s mission to preserve and promote Vulcan as the symbol for the Birmingham region, as well as to advance knowledge and understanding of Birmingham’s history and culture and to encourage exploration of the region.
Before the State can produce the specialty tag, a minimum requirement of 1,000 commitments must be met by May 31, 2022.
Supporters may purchase the ‘STAND WITH VULCAN’ tag for $50 online here. Of that amount, $41.25 will go directly to Vulcan Park Foundation to ensure Vulcan stands proud atop Red Mountain for future generations to enjoy.
Vulcan Park and Museum President and CEO Darlene Negrotto believes the offering of the distinctive tag will allow people from across the entire state, not only Birmingham, to share their love of Vulcan.
“Vulcan stands not only for the Birmingham region but for the entire state. Many across the state have made cherished memories with Vulcan, from childhood visits to romantic proposals and weddings. ” Negrotto commented. “With this new tag, it is our hope that these precious memories continue to live on and many more can be made.”
