“As someone who funds a lot of projects, the commitments made by the Gambrell Family Foundation and Myers Park Baptist Church made me curious about what the organization was doing, and the people who are in leadership roles,” Howard Levine said in announcing the gift.
As with gifts to other organizations, Levine hopes news of the investment might encourage others to make a gift to the center. The gift is a dollar-for-dollar matching challenge.
The center is using June’s LGBT Pride Month designation to launch the matching challenge campaign.
Donations can be made at www.timeoutyouth.org.
The new center is scheduled to open this summer.
