The week kicked off by honoring major donors and wrapped up with the annual Very Wolfsonian Weekend, a three-day gala fundraiser that celebrated South Florida’s rich car culture. “It was a week during which our supporters—past, present, and future—took center stage,” notes Wolfsonian director Cathy Leff. “Our donors are a vital part of the museum, and it was very special to have these back-to-back events in which we formally honored donors throughout the museum’s history and then held our annual fundraiser.”
The newly installed donor recognition wall was unveiled on November 10 by FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg. The wall honors major donors (gifts of $50,000 and above). Each donor’s name is engraved on the spine of an aluminum book/time capsule in which they are invited to place mementos particular to them. Twenty-two individuals and family foundations who supported the museum during the past thirteen years were inducted into the wall and twelve long-standing corporate sponsors were recognized.
