A generous lead gift means the Georgia Aquarium need not rely too heavily on fundraising

By Abny Santicola

FS: What is one thing that you would like to see the aquarium accomplish in 2007?
KC: I’m very excited that we’re focusing more on our mission. We’re working on a Solomon Islands project with the Nature Conservancy, and we’re helping to restore a reef. We’re working to expand our education programs. And being here and watching the kids come in, it’s really extraordinary. So I’m very excited about us having gotten through one year of operations and really looking toward enhancing some of the programs that we’ve gotten off the ground.
