This resolution commemorates the 2025 Spring Gala of the Brooklyn Children's Museum (BCM), a historic institution founded in 1899 and recognized as the world's first children's museum, which is dedicated to promoting curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning through educational programming and community engagement. The resolution specifically honors Dr. Jocelynne Rainey, who will receive the BCM Champion Award in recognition of her exceptional leadership, commitment to equity, and significant contributions to education, workforce development, and community advancement through her work as president and CEO of the Brooklyn Community Foundation. The legislative body pauses to celebrate the museum's upcoming fundraising gala, scheduled for June 12, 2025, which aims to support the institution's mission of ensuring accessible and inclusive educational experiences for children from all backgrounds. Furthermore, the resolution calls for an official, engrossed copy of the document to be transmitted to both the Brooklyn Children's Museum and Dr. Rainey as a formal acknowledgment of their important work and achievements.
