MARCH UPDATE: Success!!! Thanks to the Friends of the 5057, we met the $3,000 fundraising challenge by raising $3,100 before the deadline. Thank you! We’ve paid for the locomotive and now we are raising money to move it up north and start the cosmetic restoration.
============
We’re very grateful for all those who helped us successfully meet the $1,000 fundraising challenge in December. This month, we have an even bigger challenge.
Our anonymous donor from last spring is back with another $3,000 challenge. From now through Friday, March 1, the donor will match every donation we receive for the 5057 Project (dollar for dollar) to a maximum match of $3,000. If you donate now, you can double the impact of your contribution!
We are very close to having the $15,000 in hand to complete our purchase of the 5057 by the March 1 deadline. Successfully meeting this challenge will help us meet this deadline and also give us a running start toward our next milestone: moving the 5057 back to its home territory for a cosmetic restoration.
