  THE FUTURE OF “TRIBUTE IN LIGHT”
  As THE MUNICIPAL ART SOCIETY prepares for this year’s illumination, it has launched a fundraising campaign to secure the future of “Tribute in Light” since funding is not guaranteed after 2011.
  As part of this campaign, the organization has invited everyone who values “Tribute in Light” and counts on its dramatic presence every September 11 to help guarantee its future by giving small donations. Through Text2Give, an innovative fundraising tool, anyone with a cell phone can donate $10 by texting the word TRIBUTE to 20222 (message and data rates may apply).
  Alternatively, donations of any denomination can be made via MAS.org, or by calling (212) 935-2075.
