Centennial Campaign

JOIN US IN BUILDING THE IMMIGRATION STATION CENTENNIAL WALL!

During the 100th anniversary year of the US Immigration Station, Angel Island, you have a unique opportunity. With the cooperation of Angel Island State Park, we are building a Centennial Wall to provide an opportunity for permanent recognition on Angel Island of those who came to build America, from all periods of time, whether or not they passed through Angel Island.

Contributions to the Centennial Wall will be used to develop a new exhibit on Angel Island and on our website, called “Immigrant Voices.” It will be an interactive, multimedia experience that will tell the stories of many of the people from over 80 nationalities who immigrated to the United States through Angel Island, and more recent immigrants who have helped build America.

Your support will also enhance the programs of Angel Island State Park and help millions of people learn about the Pacific immigrant experience. You will help make history come alive!

You are invited to celebrate the life of an ancestor, a friend, a relative, or even yourself!

Contributions $2,500 and above by December 31, 2010 will be recognized on a new, permanent Centennial Wall, located in a beautiful setting on the water’s edge near the historic bell.  Each person recognized will appear on a granite plaque that will be installed on the Centennial Wall. Acknowledgment will also be displayed at the immigration station for at least two years, and on our website.

We encourage families to pool resources to recognize ancestors; companies to recognize founders or key employees; and friends to celebrate each other.

All contributions $100 and above by December 31, 2010 will be recognized at the immigration station for at least two years, and on our website.

We anticipate all names to be listed on the wall by Fall 2011 and we expect the online exhibit to be launched by late 2010. The on-site exhibit will be installed by late 2011.
