The Campaign for the Steam Railroading Institute/ Donations
If you would like to help the Steam Railroading Institute in its upcoming Capital Campaign by making a donation, please click on the link below. Beginning in 2010, the Steam Railroading Institute will begin Phase I of this campaign, which is designed to match a federal surface transportation grant administered through the Michigan Department of Transportation, which will support the restoration of Pere Marquette #1225 to operation. The entire campaign is designed to support the continued operation of the Institute and #1225 for the coming years. Thank you for your donation!
UPDATE: November 22ndThe Steam Railroading Institute recently announced its Capital Campaign to insure the future of SRI and the return to steam of Pere Marquette #1225. A multi-year project, it is designed to insure the sustainability of the organization in its mission for years to come. The first phase of this project, known as the “1225 Club,” allows donors and supporters of the #1225 to make on time pledges of $1225 to support the match for our surface transportation grant, which may be pledged over two or three years. Pledges made be made through our paypal link below. For further information, please email us at tjgaffney@mstrp.com.
Many thanks to Rose Marie Bjorkland, who recently donated her husband John’s book collection to the Steam Railroading Institute. All books not added to SRI’s own collection are to be sold to support the restoration and match for Pere Marquette #1225. Many thanks!
