Help Build Imaginative Minds

Online, June 18, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Bonifacio Art Foundation Inc. has raised 88% of its P 1 billion target to build The Mind Museum. This was raised from 31 companies and families. This time, it wants to reach out to all Filipinos who want to be part of helping make our country's world class science museum, a reality. Every Filipino,
here and abroad, can now help by donating online.

The Mind Museum, the Philippines' first world-class science museum, launches its online fundraising campaign through its redesigned website (www.themindmuseum.org) on May 29, 2010 at the Activity Center of Market! Market!, Taguig City. In order for Filipinos to get involved and help build imaginative minds, the Museum is harnessing cyberspace to invite individuals to donate via its first virtual exhibit: "Light a Star at the Mind Museum."

For P1, 000 or P5, 000, The Mind Museum will light a star or a constellation in its website. Sponsorship could be done online via credit card and eventually through the ATM as well. The goal is to reach 2 million pesos to help light the night sky of The Mind Museum in the form of a Star Cloth in the Universe Gallery. The Museum will show its appreciation to donors by sending an electronic certificate of donation, and by posting on the donors' FaceBook wall, if they have one. Donors' names will also appear by their chosen star or constellation in the Museum's virtual night sky, and they will also be recognized in a donors' marker in the Universe Gallery.

In a few weeks, the Mind Museum will also be offering more virtual exhibits such as the sponsorship of elements and their products through its Chemical Kitchen exhibit. With the launch of this online campaign, The Mind Museum hopes to get more people to embrace the cause to complete our collective dream of telling the story of science to Filipinos.

By helping build The Mind Museum, we help build imaginative minds -- we help inspire future scientists, engineers, doctors, etc., that would help build our country. (Research shows that a country's progress in science and technology is directly correlated to economic progress).
