As of Wednesday morning, $3,620 had already been raised.

“During these difficult times, our hearts extend to all in our community who’ve felt the impact of the recent storm,” museum Vice Chairman Fred Bell said in a statement. “The Palm Springs Air Museum wants to be a beacon of hope and solidarity as the community faces adversity.
