World renowned as one of the best museums and memorials to the Holocaust, the US Holocaust Museum is one of the must sees on anyone's visit to DC. We are lucky enough to live here, but need to take advantage of the opportunity to learn about this important part of world history. The DC Tulane Alumni Club has arranged group entrance to the Permanent Exhibit and visitors will also be able to tour the Nazi Olympics: Berlin 1936 exhibit on their own afterwards.

Unlike other museums on the Mall, the Holocaust Museum does not offer docent lead tours, however the group entrance will allow us to avoid the long tourist lines. This will also allow us to move through the museum at our own pace, and for those who have been before, you know there is a lot of information to take in.

Hopefully you will be able to join us, for what will certainly be one of the most impactful events we've done.

CHALLENGE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES

The Albert H. “Sonny” Small, Jr. (A&S’79) Regional Challenge Grant for Tulane Alumni Residing in the DC, Virginia, Maryland Area

Tulane alumnus Albert H. “Sonny” Small, Jr. has announced a unique opportunity for alumni in the D.C., Virginia and Maryland area making a gift to the Tulane University Rebuilding Fund. Mr. Small will match all donations, dollar for dollar*, made to the Tulane University Rebuilding Fund from alumni donors in D.C., Virginia and Maryland and those who have not yet made a gift to the Tulane Rebuilding Fund - up to $500,000 total.

This Challenge allows these alumni to give to Tulane University knowing that the amount they give will be doubled, making the impact of their individual gifts even greater. The collective impact of new gifts from alumni and matching funds from this challenge grant will provide essential support for Tulane during its rebuilding process.
Donors from these areas need only make their gift to the Rebuilding Fund. Qualifying gifts will automatically be applied to the Albert H. “Sonny” Small, Jr. Challenge Grant.

*up to $10,000 per household
