Capital campaign and museum expansion plans
I am pleased to announce the start of our second capital campaign, “Growing for the Future – 20 Years of Teaching Mutual Respect.” This effort will build on
our successful first campaign, which, through the generous lead gift of Janet G. Cohen and other wonderful donors, enabled us to move to our present, awardwinning location. The current campaign will fund several new goals, primarily the creation of a new “North Wing” of the Museum by joining together two additional suites we now own. The enlarged footprint, with new exhibit and classroom/meeting spaces, will allow us to better serve visitors, local groups and the students and teachers who participate in our Holocaust education programs. I invite you to join us as we “grow for the future.” Naming opportunities are now available for the North Wing (lead gift), Auschwitz Gallery, exhibit spaces, displays and more. Please contact me for more information on this exciting next phase — Susan@HMCEC.org or 239-263-9200, ext. 203.
