FREMONT, MI (February 3, 2025) |
Gerber FCU has committed to title sponsorship of the ‘Journeys Through History’ program at the Heritage Museum of Newaygo County for five (5) consecutive years. Shown here, Gerber Federal Credit Union President/CEO John P. Buckley, Jr (pictured right) presented a check in the amount of $20,000 to the Heritage Museum of Newaygo County Executive Director Steven Radtke (pictured left) for the first year of sponsorship.
The museum provides a rich and immersive educational experience for students. Hands-on activities and field trips help bring history to life, engaging students and giving them a deeper connection to the community's past. Each grade-level has an area of focus as follows: Pioneer Life (2nd), Native Americans (3rd), Logging (4th) and Michigan History (5th). This program currently serves around 2,000 students per year.
"We are pleased to support the museum through our annual donation, which will help fund its education programs,” said John Buckley. “These programs play a crucial role in enriching the lives of local residents and fostering a deeper understanding of our shared history and culture. We believe this partnership will enhance the museum’s educational mission and provide valuable learning opportunities for the community."
