?????? Thank you to Sentara Health for their generous $700,000 gift to the Portsmouth Museums Foundation. This funding was able to support the Children’s Museum of Virginia with the construction and expansion of the new Bodyworks exhibit. This was a monumental achievement as it was the largest donation to the Portsmouth Museums Foundation for an exhibit since the museum opened in 1980. ?????? Make plans and come visit this brand new, fun and educational exhibit!
Helping kids grow up healthy! We teamed up with the Children's Museum of Virginia to expand the museum's BodyWorks exhibit. This interactive playground gets kids moving, learning about their bodies, and making healthy choices. “We’re making an early start to help kids avoid obesity, diabetes, and hypertension later in life,” said Iris Lundy, Vice President of Health Equity for Sentara. “It’s an investment in our mission to improve health every day.” A $700,000 gift from Sentara helped make this possible. It is the largest donation to an exhibit since the museum opened in 1980, and it's an investment in our future! #HealthyKids #SentaraCares
