to MOSH.
Earlier this year, MOSH announced VyStar as the first corporate donor for its
capital campaign. In addition to a donation of $2.5 million, the agreement
included sponsorship of a Military Appreciation Day — representing an extension
of the credit union’s longstanding commitment to recognizing and honoring the
service of our military communities.
Guests will enjoy full access to the Museum, including its newest exhibition,
TOYTOPIA, a nostalgic walk down memory lane through toys. From Crayola® to
Hasbro®, the exhibition includes toys across multiple generations. Boasting the
world’s largest Etch A Sketch, a life-sized dollhouse and vintage arcade games,
TOYTOPIA is fun for the whole family.
In addition, MOSH is hosting its newest signature exhibit, Faces to Remember, a
moving photographic exhibit that tells the amazing story of perseverance and
courage of eight Filipino World War II veterans through black-and-white
portraits, taken by photographer Agnes Lopez, and video clips, produced by
filmmaker Eric Torres. The exhibit is open now and runs through January 31,
2021.
“VyStar is grateful for all military members and the sacrifices they make
every day for our country,” said Brian Wolfburg, President/CEO of VyStar
Credit Union. “That is especially true on Veterans Day, when we stop to
reflect and give thanks for their service and the difference it makes in our
lives. We hope our military members and their families can come together to
celebrate and enjoy the Museum of Science & History, one of the true
landmarks in our community.”
“Northeast Florida’s history has been shaped by the military’s presence, and
the many contributions that service members and their families make to our
community,” said Bruce Fafard,CEO of the Museum of Science & History.
“Our partnership with VyStar Credit Union is helping us honor them this
Veterans Day, and we hope that their time within our museum will create special
memories they can cherish forever.”
