Gift pushes total museum endowments over the half-million dollar mark!

Long-time friends and donors establish the Michele Eickholt and Lee A. Green MD Museum Priorities Fund

Michele Eickholt and Lee A. Green, MD attended U-M for many years as undergraduate and graduate students, and when Lee attended U-M’s Medical School. They have fond memories of spending some of their free time in those days on central campus visiting the U-M Exhibit Museum. Their relationship with the museum has continued in the decades since, including sharing the museum with their children and friends. They are loyal museum supporters, have attended numerous events, and have provided helpful input throughout the years. They’ve enjoyed watching the museum evolve and appreciate the new Museum of Natural History’s focus on providing access to U-M’s world-class collections with the latest scientific information.

The Michele Eickholt and Lee A. Green MD Museum Priorities Fund will provide support for the Museum of Natural History’s priorities, including staff or volunteer training, exhibits, public programs, the student docent program, planetarium programs, and school field trip programs, for generations to come.

Museum staff were thrilled when Michele and Lee reached out to express an interest in making this transformative gift. We are sincerely grateful for their thoughtfulness.
