At the RTM Meeting at Central Middle School on March 14, The Campaign for MISA will present a check to the Town of Greenwich for $1,185,000.
Lile Gibbons and Livvy Floren, honorary chairs of the fundraising committee, will speak briefly on behalf of The Campaign, highlighting the extraordinary effort and successful public/private partnership.
The Campaign was launched in February 2011, with the goal of raising $1 million to help defray the cost of the Greenwich High School Music Instructional Space and Auditorium Project (“MISA”) to the Town of Greenwich. In 90 days, pledges reaching that amount were received.
