Tournament for their generous grant.
Quoting the grant press release: "Augusta Jewish Museum, Inc. – $15,000
The Augusta Jewish Museum is a center for learning that collects, preserves and interprets the rich evidence of the Jewish experience in Augusta, GA, Aiken, SC, and the rest of the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) and inspires audiences of all ages, religions and backgrounds with displays and programming. It will be the first non-sectarian facility specifically dedicated to preserving and presenting the region's unique Jewish heritage. These funds will be used to offset costs associated with opening the museum."
