Honor the Memory of Dr. Rebecca C. Thompson
In Tribute to Those Who Inspire Us
Help celebrate the late Dr. Rebecca C. Thompson's extraordinary passion for science, unwavering commitment to the Saint Louis Science Center's mission, and genuine spirit of care and advocacy for her colleagues and community with a gift to the Rebecca C. Thompson Memorial Fund.
Funds generated by this fund shall be used to provide STEM education and initiatives, with a preference or primary focus on providing scholarships and/or programmatic support for those historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines, including, but not limited to, women and racial or ethnic minorities.
In addition, if the fund balance reaches $100,000, then it will thereafter be maintained as a permanent endowment fund for those purposes.
