Thanks to the efforts of numerous organizations, businesses and community members, the Children's Museum of Houston's special project of establishing the Fort Bend Children's Discovery Center is closing in on its $3.65 million fundraising goal.
"It's a clear indication of just how important this facility will be for all of Fort Bend County," capital campaigns manager Tracy Golden said. "We must raise the remaining $916,192 by Dec. 31 in order to make the Fort Bend Children's Discovery Center a reality. Whether it's donating a few dollars or thousands, we need everyone to help us reach our goal."
So far, the center had received about $2.73 million in donations from companies such as Johnson Development, Wells Fargo and the George Foundation among many others.
"Donations are coming in from all over the county with 80 percent from Fort Bend County, which demonstrates the importance of this project to all of its residents," she said. "The community is truly embracing the fact that the [center] will provide a world-class learning environment, which will enrich the educational lives of all children in Fort Bend and beyond."
