YOUR MUSEUM ANSWERS THE CHALLENGE<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2023 the Cobourg Museum Foundation received a significant challenge. In its Strategic Resiliency Study<\/em>, Lord Cultural Resources wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cCreate a major Permanent Cobourg History Exhibit. You have told many stories of Cobourg. Now it\u2019s time to tell Cobourg\u2019s Story.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, since the start of 2024 a planning team has been putting together details of what such an exhibit might contain. The overall theme chosen is \u201cCobourg – A Town Built on Dreams\u201d and the expectation is that it will open in May 2025.<\/p>\n

Challenge accepted with enthusiasm!<\/p>\n

FUNDRAISING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raising the funds for this long-term exhibit is a large part of the challenge!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

UPDATE: (March 3, 2025) THE MAYORS+ONE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN MET!!<\/p>\n

Three former mayors of Cobourg and one other friend are challenging us to help them raise $6,000. They have pledged $500 each and an additional $500 each if we can match it. For every dollar donated in their name, the Mayors + One will donate another dollar – up to a total of $1,000 each.<\/p>\n

YOUR DONATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

While donation to the Mayors + One Challenge will make a significant contribution to this project, funds are still needed to bring us closer to the Project Cash Budget of $87,750.<\/p>\n

Generous Donations<\/strong> of $500 – $999 will be acknowledged on a special Donor Acknowledgement Wall.<\/p>\n

Impactful Donations<\/strong> over $1,000 will receive special acknowledgement on the Donor Acknowledgement Wall, and will have a sponsorship opportunity for an aspect of the exhibit.<\/p>\n

All Donations<\/strong> will be thankfully received and appreciated!<\/p>\n
