The Challenger Learning Center’s (CLC) planetarium was renamed the “Fogg Planetarium” after a generous grant of $750,000 from the Fogg Charitable Trust. The money will be used to support the center’s mission to promote STEM education through engaging science-based entertainment for children and families in the Tallahassee area.
The donation will be placed into the Challenger’s Endowment and earnings from the fund will provide annual support for these programs for years to come.
Todd Clark, Fogg Foundation trustee and a CLC Board of Directors member, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “The trustees of the Fogg Trust are proud to support educational, research, and public service institutions. The planetarium at the Challenger Learning Center in Tallahassee provides opportunities for learning and wonder for children and adults and is a venue for lectures and bedtime stories. This financial support will allow an upgrade that will continue to make the planetarium a center of learning and inspiration.”
