New Building Fund Campaign!!
MATCH THE MONEY
AND THE MUSEUM IS OURS!
In September 2006, the Museum of American Glass in West
Virginia realized a dream by signing a purchase agreement for the building
at 230 Main Avenue in Weston, WV, that we have now turned into one of
the finest and most exciting glass museums in existence. We were fortunate
to receive very good terms at a low interest rate but looming
over our heads is the knowledge that come September 2011, a sizeable
balloon payment will be due.
A very generous anonymous donor has come forward with an offer that
will allow us to retire this debt early and own our museum mortgage-free
in 2010.
If we can raise $45,000 between October 25, 2009, and April 25, 2010,
every dollar raised will be matched by the anonymous donor! How fortunate
we are that people believe in our vision so strongly and with such dedication!
With your help, this is something we can do!
For a donation of $500.00 or more Your name be will engraved
on a one-of-a-kind commemorative vase by Kelsey Murphy that will become
part of the permanent collection. Your name will also appear on a permanent
list of Match the Money donors in the museum. You will receive a certificate
of appreciation and recognition in All About Glass.
For a donation of $100.00-$499.00 Your name will appear a permanent
list of Match the Money donors in the museum. You will receive a certificate
of appreciation and recognition in All About Glass.
For a donation of $60.00-$99.00 You will receive a certificate
of appreciation and recognition in All About Glass.
For a donation of $5.00-$59.00 You will receive a certificate
of appreciation.
