NMB Launches ‘Donate To Detonate’ Fundraiser
The National Museum of Bermuda [NMB] is inviting donors to support the museum’s The Anchor Fund before December 31, 2022.
The spokesperson said, “Starting Monday, 14 November 2022, the National Museum of Bermuda [NMB] will be giving community members, supporters and friends a unique opportunity to detonate one of the Museum’s historic cannon by making a donation to “Donate to Detonate”.
“Supporters can donate any amount, starting at $20, or buy a detonation outright at $1,000 [and, at this level, choose the day they want to fire their cannon]. Every fifteenth donation to “Donate to Detonate” under $1,000 will entitle the donor to fire a cannon at the Museum’s community day scheduled on Saturday, February 25, 2023. Donors who buy a $1,000 detonation outright have an option to pick a private day to fire their cannon, or to join the community day in February.
“NMB is a collective voice for and about Bermuda. The Museum offers insights into contemporary issues through exhibits, programmes and collections and is one of the Island’s leading educational resources sharing Bermuda’s diverse history, culture, and heritage. NMB promotes history and culture as part of what helps to keep communities together and makes them stronger.
NMB Executive Director Elena Strong shared: “At NMB, we aim to make learning Bermuda history part of every educational journey on Island. With our programmes that support students, teachers and lifelong learners, exhibits, publications and outreach we are shifting how history is being shared and taught in Bermuda. Donations support all this essential work”.
“All donations made through “Donate to Detonate” will go toward NMB’s annual fund, The Anchor Fund, which sustains and enriches education programmes, exhibits, publications, outreach and the day-to-day operations of the Museum.
Katie Bennett, NMB Advancement Officer said: “By donating to detonate, you are helping fund all we do. Donations also help us make admission free for all local students, educators and children under 16. Thank you, and let’s have a blast together!”
