Though Eugene Nagowski and late wife Pat had no children of their own, to honor Pat's memory he's started an education endowment at the Museum for underprivileged kids, hoping other members of the Museum will add to it. To encourage participation of individuals and clubs Eugene is offering to match each donation, dollar-for-dollar - up to $5,000.
"It would be so wounderful if we could get enough money together to where the interest could be used for helping children. I've been blessed with so much, that it just seems like the right thing to do," said Eugene.
Interest from the endowment will eventually fund field trips for groups like Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, pay for educational outreach to kids who aren't able to visit the Museum, fund teen driver classes for low income students and more.
