Millville Army Air Field Museum Launches Its “Taking Flight” Campaign
Preserving our Heritage. Educating our Youth. Honoring our Veterans.
MILLVILLE, NJ: The Millville Army Air Field Museum (MAAFM) proudly launches its “Taking Flight” Campaign, dedicated to ensuring the Museum will continue its mission to EDUCATE our youth about “America’s First Defense Airport” of World War II, HONOR our veterans, and PRESERVE our heritage.
Since 1988, the Millville Army Air Field Museum has annually welcomed more than 5,000 visitors and hosted free programs to educate students, honor veterans and active military, and preserve the important World War II history of America’s 1st Defense Airport.
“Many individuals and businesses have joined our 1941 Society with an annual pledge that has enabled us to ‘Take Flight’ into the public phase of this campaign,” explains Lisa Jester, MAAFM executive director. With the support of other community-minded individuals and businesses, the “Taking Flight” Campaign will make the Millville Army Air Field Museum and its mission of Education, Preservation and Honor sustainable into the future.
• The 1941 Society serves as the Museum’s leadership giving program, beginning at $1,941 annually and including recognition levels through to the “Group Commander” level.
• Taking Flight provides opportunities for donors to support capital projects, endowments, and naming opportunities that help preserve and enhance the Museum’s historic facilities.
• An historic Legacy Society recognizes those who remember the MAAFM in their wills, trusts, or estate plans — helping ensure that the history of America’s First Defense Airport is preserved for generations to come.
“Together these opportunities allow individuals, families, businesses and foundations to support the Museum today, while investing in its long-term sustainability,” notes Jester.
