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

By Abny Santicola

FS: Do you do any fundraising?
KC: We have a very unique thing that we do here at the aquarium that has been successful for us this year. We have a ballroom space. It’s 16,000 square feet and has a separate entrance from the main aquarium. We can accommodate events for up to 1,000 and the room can be subdivided into three smaller rooms.
