Majblomman–Flower Pins from the Mayflower Charity for Children

The Museum Store is partnering with Majblomman to sell their Mayflower pins in support of their charity. The Mayflower Charity for Children is the largest organization in Sweden helping to fight poverty and illness of children. Since 1907, every April Swedish children participate in Mayflower activities by selling paper pins–of which revenues go back directly to their charity work.

The Museum Store will sell these paper Mayflower pins and stickers this Month. Prices range from $1.50 to $7.50, with proceeds going to the Mayflower Charity for Children in Sweden. For more information about this charity, please click here to visit their website.
