Tellus Receives Contribution from Anheuser-Busch Foundation
July 25 , 2007
Cartersville, Georgia – Tellus: Northwest Georgia Science Museum recently announced the Anheuser-Busch Foundation as the newest contributor to its Capital Campaign. In June 2007, the Anheuser-Busch Foundation pledged $150,000 to Tellus, which will be given over a three year period, for use in interior construction, fabrication and the acquisition of objects.
The Anheuser-Busch Foundation first became aware of Tellus when the plant manager of the Cartersville Anheuser-Busch brewery, Steve McDaniel, took an interest in the museum. “Our company has long been committed to lending a hand to organizations that make a difference in the communities in which our employees work and live,” said McDaniel. Seeing the opportunity for Anheuser-Busch to support an organization which he felt would improve his community, McDaniel approached the Anheuser-Busch Foundation for support.
“Anheuser-Busch, a company that draws on a rich history of 155 years, is proud to make this three-year financial commitment to the Northwest Georgia Science Museum, which will have a special emphasis on math, technology and science,” said McDaniel. “We are honored to be among the corporate sponsors that will make this vision a reality.”
