We are honored that Pam & Dave Bornholdt are our Chairs of the 2025 Annual Appeal!
Pam and Dave know first hand the unique and special role that Finger Lakes Boating Museum plays in bringing people together around all things boating.
After all, as the story goes, they "clinched" their relationship beginning with clinching copper nails while working on Dave's 1940 Thompson Rowboat that they lovingly restored at FLBM.
Like Appeal Co-chairs Ed & Nancy Wightman, Pam and Dave are leaders in the community and have been around boats their whole lives and FLBM for quite some time. Together they are steadfast advocates for sustaining the foundation that our amazing volunteers, members, and donors have built for the Museum - and urge you to join in.
A mission-critical priority of the Board of Trustees is to sustain the progress we have made growing our professional staff to include a Boatworks & Collections Manager.
-
Goal: $200,000 over the next three years to sustain our capacity to restore boats, manage our collection, and design engaging exhibits and programs.

Success to date: Thanks to your generous donations in 2024, we raised over $50,000 toward our goal.
