BGC supports The Mind Museum

MANILA, Philippines - Bonifacio Global City hosted recently National Geographic’s Earth Day Run 2011. The Run was held in part to support The Mind Museum, the country’s first world-class science museum. Almost 10,400 runners participated, which was more than double the number of participants last year.

Fifty-four runners joined the group of pioneering individual donors as they donated to The Mind Museum’s “Light-a-Star” project. For as little as P1,000, the runner got to have a star named after him or her at The Mind Museum’s virtual exhibit.

A P10,000 to P15,000 donation afforded the runner a galaxy. All donors would be recognized at the museum’s donors’ markers for 10 years when it finally opens in December this year.

The runner-donors also received a Donor’s Certificate, a sponsorship badge and an exclusive National Geographic and The Mind Museum runner’s bandana.

Opportunity for individuals to make a mark at The Mind Museum and help move it to completion is still available at its website (www.themindmuseum.org.)

As a learning facility with over 200 interactive exhibits, the museum aims to fascinate and inspire people especially the young generation to take up careers in science.

The Mind Museum is a unique landmark located right at the heart of BGC, in the super-prime 12,000-sqm site of J.Y. Campos Park.
