Buhl Foundation endows the Carnegie Science Center director's chair

Carnegie, Jan/Feb 2003

The Buhl Foundation celebrated its 75th year of supporting western Pennsylvania by making the largest gift in its history: $3 million to endow The Henry Buhl, Jr. Director Chair.

Doreen Boyce, president of the foundation since 1982, noted that, "Foundations can't make change: our job is to fund people and organizations who can." She added, "Our roots, as well as our name, are in the Science Center, and it is a perfect example of a project that makes a difference in individual lives as well as in the development of an entire region. It is a major tourist attraction, a prolific educator, and a leader in cutting edge technology and exhibits."
