Space Club Donates to Brevard Space Week

The National Space Club (NSC) of Florida presented a check to Brevard Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Brian Binggeli and Brevard Schools Foundation Executive Director Janice Kershaw at the November 8, NSC meeting held at the Radisson at the Port, Cape Canaveral. The $50,000 check will go toward funding Brevard Space Week, a program that introduces sixth grade students to the space exploration activities that occur at Kennedy Space Center (KSC).

“Space Week excites the imagination of our students and plants the seed for those who will be a part of the next generation of space explorers,” said NSC Chair Steve Griffin. “Whether they dream of being an astronaut or of helping launch space vehicles, it’s vitally important that we encourage our students to be a part of mankind’s journey to the stars.” Click here to read more about this donation.
