Abbeville Cultural, Historical Alliance receives donation from Kinder Morgan

The Abbeville Cultural and Historical Alliance received a $5,000 donation from Kinder Morgan, one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in North America and based out of Houston.
The donation is through The Kinder Morgan Foundation, a private company foundation that supports programs that promote the academic and artistic interests of students in grades K through 12 in select areas of Kinder Morgan’s operations.
Earlier this year, Cultural Alliance Director Alison Miller received a phone call from a Kinder Morgan representative. The gentleman asked about the Alliance’s mission, the exhibits housed inside the Center and how the Cultural Center promotes culture and arts to young children. The representative also asked about the non-profit organizations that are members of the Cultural Alliance and what they offer to the community. When Mrs. Miller received the phone call a couple of weeks ago, she was very surprised to learn about the generous donation. “It will help the Cultural Center to continue to provide educational opportunities to our residents and visitors.”
Lloyd Dore III, president of the Abbeville Cultural and Historical Alliance, accepted the donation from Greg Neal with Kinder Morgan. The Abbeville Cultural and Historical Alliance is located in downtown Abbeville at 200 N Magdalen Square. The Center is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, please call 337-898-4114 or visit www.abbevillemuseums.com.
