The South City Museum and Cultural Center established its Capital Campaign Committee to lead fundraising efforts for a $22.5 million goal, including a $5 million endowment. The committee made up of community leaders Willie Gregory, Estella Mayhue-Greer, Tyrone Burroughs, Loise Stockton, and Rodney Herenton, began meeting to develop strategies and plans, laying the groundwork for the museum’s long-term financial sustainability. Their first strategy session was held in the summer of 2025.
