Support California Institutions With a Snoopy License Plate

It was the widow of Charles Schulz, the artist who depicted the beagle "Snoopy", who initiated the steps to have a license plate featuring the famous dog, in 2003.  She had founded Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, birthplace of Charles Schulz, honoring the cartoonist. During the process she discovered the ever-present need for funding by California state owned museums.  The process took 12 years due to a change in the process and parameters, including a commitment of 7,500 pre-orders! The plates were introduced in May 2015. 

"To help meet this need, Ms. Schulz and Peanuts Worldwide, as the copyright holders, are generously giving royalty-free rights to Snoopy's image to benefit museums."
