LIFETIME MEMBER TO DONATE $25,000 TO TOP OFF LAND CAMPAIGN

NCM Lifetime Member Bob Patrella has agreed to donate the final $25,000 needed to reach the Land Campaign goal of $200,000, once the campaign reaches the $175,000 mark. Patrella stated, "I believe the Museum belongs to the members and I want to do my part to help." The campaign scheduled to end October 31, currently stands at over $126,000. Donations from over 40 Corvette Clubs along with 700 individual donations have been received.

Donations have also been received through "Matching Gift" programs. Many employers offer matching gifts programs, which may match, dollar for dollar, the contributions that their employees make to not-for-profit organizations.
