Hoboken Museum News
We did it! Thanks for helping us earn $15,000 in matching funds!
December 26-31, 2014
Location: The Museum, 1301 Hudson St.
Thank you to all who made donations in our annual fund drive, during the final stage when a generous patron and our Board of Trustees had pledged to match all donations made between Christmas and New Year's Eve up to $15,000. It was an ambitious goal--more than double the matching funds pledged last year--because we're planning a pair of blockbuster shows next year, on Hoboken's founding Stevens family and another on Frank Sinatra and his legions of fans. We made our goal, ensuring the Museum has another strong year of exhibitions, programs, and community events. Click here to make a tax-deductible donation.
