The National Corvette Museum has received a $1,000 grant
from Macy's to support youth Engineering with Minecraft Camps.
Across the country, support from Macy's and Bloomingdale’s
giving programs helped sponsor free admission to museums and exhibits, special
musical performances, art exhibits, and art and theatre workshops for children.
"In the past year we have hosted five Hooked on Science
Engineering with Minecraft Camps, and all five of them have sold out with long
wait lists," said Museum Education Coordinator Kellie Steen. "Through
this support from Macy's we have already scheduled three more camps for
September 21, 2015, January 18, 2016 and February 15, 2016 when many of the
area school children are out for holidays. We are thrilled with this new
partnership to bring more kids out to the Museum for educational
opportunities."
Bowling Green's Macy's has continued to partner with the Museum
by offering a Corvette Store presence within their Greenwood Mall location.
Additionally, the Museum loans Corvettes to the store for display as a way to
cross promote the brands. Labor Day Weekend, as part of the Museum’s 21st
Anniversary Celebration, Macy’s will be display two additional Museum-owned
Corvettes, a 1959 and a 1966.
“Macy’s prides itself on offering products from iconic
American brands, and Corvette is THE American Sports Car. It was only natural
for our Bowling Green store to form a meaningful and on-going partnership with
the National Corvette Museum,” said Terry Busing, VP Store Manager at Macy’s.
“We are excited that our grant will help bring additional Minecraft camps to
the Museum.”
