COMMUNITY DIVERSITY PROGRAMS
The Foundation has been active in sponsoring programs that are meant to promote education, understanding, and diversity. To this end, the Foundation has been the main sponsor of an annual Days of Remembrance Event for Greater Prescott. In 2006 and 2007 the event was held before capacity crowds at the Davis Learning Center at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Due to the overwhelming success of this program, in 2008 the event will be held at Yavapai College Performance Hall. The featured speaker for 2008 will be Mr. Tibor Rubin, the only Holocaust survivor who is also a recipient of the Medal of Honor.
Beginning on May 1, 2008 through June 24, 2008 the Foundation along with other community organizations is sponsoring the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s traveling exhibit: “Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings”. This award-winning exhibit commemorates and studies the contemporary meaning of the Nazi book burnings of May 10, 1933. The exhibit will be displayed at the Art Gallery at the Yavapai College Performance Hall on the campus of Yavapai College. Of note, Greater Prescott will be hosting this exhibit on the 75th anniversary of this significant historical event.
