Capital Campaign News: The Health Adventure announces new
campus
|
|
| |
Welcome to Momentum! On September
18th, The Health Adventure publicly announced its plans to develop
a new 10-acre campus that will become Momentum Science and Health
Adventure Park. This is the next evolution in an organization that has
served families and children for almost 40 years. I invite you to join us
as we embark on our journey home � to the very first place we will actually
be able to call our own.
During our remaining time at Pack
Place, we will still be known as The Health Adventure and will continue to
provide our members, school groups, and visitors with the highest quality
hands-on health and science exhibits and programs. Our move will allow us
to expand our mission to include environmental education and to develop
more features that will provide for increased physical activity for all
ages and abilities.
Join us on our path to a new adventure and
help us:
- build a world-class science and health museum right
here in Asheville that will serve as a national model;
- create new
educational opportunities that inspire students to learn more about the
amazing world within and around them;
- inspire students to become
the next generation of community leaders;
- develop a family
destination that enhances our tourism economy and at the same time brings
to our community incredible iconic elements for us to enjoy.
In
choosing PGAV Destination Consulting as our project designers, our new
campus will be unique and authentic complete with state-of-the-art,
leading edge exhibits and programs with visitor experiences at the very
heart of everything we create. Guest services, educational content,
quality, and fun will be found in every corner of the entire campus.
Nothing cookie cutter or ordinary will do. Why? Because Asheville
deserves a family attraction for our children and families to explore
together and discover just how wonderful our world can be.
You
can help our dream become a reality. Your involvement and support is
wanted and needed. Our goal is to break ground on the new facility early
in the summer of 2008. To do so, we must make more friends and raise more
money. You can be a part of a truly innovative educational attraction that
will educate hundreds of thousands of people of all ages. By joining us,
you will be a part of building momentum for Momentum! Visit our new
website, momentumscience.org, to learn more information about gift recognition
or planned giving opportunities.
We have raised almost $10.5
million toward our $25 million goal. We are fortunate to have generous
supporters who have named some of our major iconic elements. Many naming
opportunities remain and I welcome the opportunity to talk with you about
the various opportunities to become involved in supporting Momentum. Learn more about our New Adventure!�
All my best,
Paige Johnson
