BUILDING CAMPAIGN UPDATE

During the recent 50th Anniversary Celebration, over $170,000 was raised towards the building campaign planned to add an additional 60,000 square feet to the Museum. The building addition is a $6 million dollar project that we plan to raise funds for within the next two to three years. A series of fundraising campaigns are planned and additional information and special gifts incentives will be available in the coming months. The first campaign "Building for Corvette's Next 50 Years" will conclude December 31, 2003. Donors will receive unique appreciation gifts featuring the themed artwork - photos and information are available via our website at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/building/index.shtml Donations to the campaign may be made as a "one-time" gift or can be made by pledging a specific amount each month, quarter or year.
