Funding for NY Museum of Animation Art & Memorabilia
Donation protected
Greetings!
This is the space where I am given the opportunity to share my story and dream with the hope that others will be persuaded to support a New York-based animation art and memorabilia museum. More information about our history is on the museum’s website www.nymaam.org
The mission of the museum is to support art Education, Preservation, Philanthropy, Inspiration and Creativity (EPPIC). In so doing, the museum can use its holding to educate visitors about the process of animation art creation, such as production, design, storytelling and voice artistry. We can also celebrate the many legacies of people involved, especially the incredibly talented women and underrepresented groups who have not been given their due recognition for their contribution to animation and the arts.
Because of my background in healthcare, I would like to extend the museum’s services to disadvantaged and sick children and their families, such as those treated by St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and the Children’s Miracle Network, who need an escape from their undeserving reality. To have the ability to create an opportunity for these children to have a joyful experience and meet their cartoon idols makes this an even more rewarding endeavor.
We are thisclose to acquiring an amazing, historic location in Poughkeepsie, New York. We are BEYOND excited! We are trying to raise some working capital. Please share our mission and link with your friends or colleagues and encourage them to support this worthwhile project. Donations are tax deductible as permitted by law. We are optimistic that there are Angel Investors out there and need your assistance.
We welcome all conversations. Send us an email at the link on our webpage.
Thank you in advance for considering this dream worthy of your financial support and bringing it closer to realization.
