Love Vulcan Park and Museum and want it and the ‘Big Guy’ that stands proudly above Birmingham to be around for years to come? Then register now for the free STAND WITH VULCAN car tag! Read on to find out why your participation matters, how to claim your tag and more. (Psst! You’ll also get an inside scoop on Vulcan’s 118th Birthday Bash coming up on June 5!)

Why a car tag?

There’s no question the STAND WITH VULCAN car tag is a fun way to jazz up your ride, but it’s much more than that. It’s also an amazing way to support Vulcan Park & Museum’s mission to:

• Preserve and promote Vulcan as the symbol for the Birmingham region
• Advance knowledge and understanding of Birmingham’s history and culture
• Encourage exploration of the region

Plus, if you love Birmingham Walking Tours, the awe-inspiring statues of Vulcan Parade represented around the city or enjoy Vulcan Park & Museum’s beauty and accessibility, these are all reasons to register now for the STAND WITH VULCAN car tag. Doing so will ensure these special things continue for years to come.

But it can’t happen without you! For the state of Alabama to produce the specialty tag, a minimum requirement of 1,000 commitments must be met. Register by June 30 and be one of the lucky 1,000 to score a free tag! (Regular motor vehicle registration taxes and fees still apply, of course.)

“We are extremely excited to now offer our specialty car tag for free. Although we are sponsoring the first year, the funding we will receive from supporters purchasing tags for years to come will help us not only ensure that Vulcan continues to stand for all of Birmingham, but also that we can continue providing educational programs and cherished memories for many years to come.”

Amanda Hare, Marketing & Public Relations Manager, Vulcan Park Foundation

What happens when the STAND WITH VULCAN car tag receives 1,000 commitments? The tag will be available for purchase for $50 at any Alabama Department of Motor Vehicles office. Of the total cost, $41.25 will benefit Vulcan Park Foundation. 

For additional questions about the Stand with Vulcan specialty license plate, contact Amanda Hare, Marketing & Public Relations Manager, via 205.203.4824 or ahare@visitvulcan.com.
