Peanuts Worldwide and the family and widow of “Peanuts” creator Charles Schultz donate Snoopy’s likeness to help fund grants for California's 1,400 museums, science centers, zoos and aquariums.
America’s best-known beagle, Snoopy, will begin appearing on license plates across California next year, raising money for museums and related attractions.
The state will begin making the plates now that it has received more than 7,500 prepaid orders from “Peanuts” comic strip fans and museum supporters, according to a report by The San Diego Union-Tribune.
The plates initially cost $50 or $98 for personalized versions, with a lower price for renewing annually.
California Cultural and Historical Endowment chair Bryan Cash says the program is expected to generate $10 million over 10 years and has raised about $500,000 so far.
Proceeds will fund grants for California's 1,400 museums, science centers, zoos and aquariums.
The beagle’s likeness was donated by Peanuts Worldwide and the family and widow of “Peanuts” creator Charles Schultz.
