Purpose

To raise an initial $25,000 by July 2025 for the NAL-UHCL Endowment fund. This amount will support the University of Houston - Clear Lake (UHCL) archive's JSC history collection by perpetually paying for a student intern to work alongside the UHCL Archivists and NAL volunteers to process and organize the JSC collection of papers and artifacts.
