There are a ton of ways to help rebuild The Tun™ in Philadelphia, from buying a brick to sporting a shirt or volunteering your time. Here are 10 ways to be a part of The Tun™, with many of them featuring a collectible or limited-edition item. They range from $11.10 to $2,500. Please consider signing on for more than one.

“Every dollar gets us closer to completing The Tun™, and fulfilling our mission of making charitable contributions to causes of the organizations that called Tun Tavern home,” said Pat Dailey, founder and president of the Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation. “Thank you for being a part of the community of supporters reestablishing and rebuilding The Tun™.”

1. Donate $11.10. Make a one-time contribution of $11.10 to honor the November 10 (11.10) birthdate of the Marines. Follow along on social media as we track and post the total number of donors honoring their history as part of the “11.10 Club.”

2. Sport a T-shirt. By purchasing a green t-shirt for $35, you are supporting The Tun™ in two ways – by contributing to the fundraising efforts and spreading the word every time you wear it. $35.

3. Donate $50. Contribute $50 and receive a framed certificate recognizing your participation.

4. Make it a Mug. Customized 20-ounce wooded mugs with stainless steel inserts display a logo for The Tun™ on one side with your name (up to 12 characters). Then, on the other side, you can choose to keep it blank or represent one of the six organizations founded at the historic Tun Tavern with a heritage logo. Pictured is an example of a wooden mug recognizing the Pennsylvania Freemasons, and another representing the Society of St. George. $200.

5. Prefer a Polo. This red collared shirt can also be ordered to represent you are a Friend of The Tun™. $250.

6. Purchase a Paver. Add a name, memorial or message on a paver that will line Tun Alley, adjacent to The Tun™. Each Tun Alley brick paver can feature up to four lines of text, and you can add a heritage logo to represent one of the organizations founded at the historic Tun Tavern. $500.

7. Buy a Brick. There is strong evidence that the historic Tun Tavern was made of bricks and The Tun™ will be, too. You can buy one of the bricks that will be used in rebuilding The Tun™, and as a commemorative, receive a miniature engraved and framed brick and certificate. $750.8. Collect a Copper Mug. A customized 16-ounce Copper Mug will be a special keepsake that will feature The Tun™ logo and up to three lines of text, with 18 characters per line. Enjoy your mug at home, or choose to have it hung from the rafters at The Tun™. Our unique tavern coin inside mugs displayed at The Tun™ means your first beer of every visit is on us! $1,000.

9. Bank a Tankard. This 32-ounce tankard is a work of art, handcrafted by Sara Dahmen, the only known female coppersmith in America, using tools from the 1700s and 1800s and based on actual tankards in use in colonial Pennsylvania. Read more about Sara Dahmen and her Wisconsin studio here. Your one-of-a-kind tankard will include your name hand-stamped on the tankard, along with The Tun™. The tankard will be displayed in a locked, lighted glass case in The Tun™ for your use when you visit, or elect to keep it at home and bring it with you. The limited-edition tankard (only 1,500 will be made) is offered as a “bottomless” stein, with your beer, ale, or nonalcoholic beverages complimentary when you use it at The Tun™. $2,500.

10. Join the Tun Militia. Contribute your time to build The Tun™ community right in your own backyard. You will be one of only a very few with the official Tun Militia t-shirt, a gift for volunteering. Read more here.
