/CNW/ - This holiday season the Fairmont Store has a treasure trove of thoughtfully curated gift ideas filled with inspiration and meaning for all the special.
Anthony James (Tony) Barr and his wife, Olga, donated $1M to the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention to help support the museum’s youth programming for generations to come.
Barr said, I believe in the mission of the Cade to Spark Wonder and Invent Possible. As a child, I read the biographies of Ben Franklin, Marconi, Alexander Graham Bell, Wright Brothers, and Sikorsky. Visiting the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and the Museum of Natural History in New York City filled me with wonder. My childhood interests are addressed right here in Gainesville by The Cade, and I believe it will attract our young people to the STEM fields.
