$20,000 Challenge Given by Lynn and Roger Van Vreede

For a second year, Lynn and Roger Van Vreede are challenging supporters of Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass with a $20,000 match, dollar-for dollar, for any donations made during the year-end fund drive.
The Van Vreedes became active supporters of Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass because they believe the Arts are a basic need. “We believe that without the Arts the world would be a very different place, not one that we would choose to live in,” they explained.
“Following the progression of growth and change in the organization, it has been a privilege to become involved financially, in addition to participating in programs and events. We are happy to support not only exceptional glass exhibits but also education for children and adults alike,” they continued.
The Van Vreedes expect Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass to continue its evolution and want to be a part of it. After traveling to museums around the world, we realize what a gem we have right here in Neenah, WI.
“We encourage others that want to make a difference in their community to get involved. Working together we can sustain a world class glass museum that displays glass from the past and reaches into the future of modern glass.”
