Giving Opportunities

Who’s your favorite advertising icon character? Come on, you know you have one. It could be a character from your childhood, maybe Tony the Tiger or Cap’n Crunch. Or, it might be a more recent one like the Aflac Duck or the Geico Gecko. Whatever your favorite icon might be, it and thousands more are all moving into the brand-new Advertising Icon Museum.

Mr. Clean, Ronald McDonald, Woody’s Owl and the Quaker Oats man all need your help in making their new home come to life. The museum is currently under construction with plans for completion for the fall of 2009. The museum is seeking funds to underwrite the construction, educational program development and administrative costs associated with the project, and the start of an endowment fund. Fundraising efforts are being led by the museum’s board of directors and development committee. The campaign goal is $5.6 million. Currently, the campaign has secured close to $2 million in donations from lead donors. Will you become a First Friend or an Iconic Founding Funder and help build a home for America’s favorite advertising icons by making a donation today?
