In this article is tells about the extremely generous donation from the Resnick couple of Beverly Hills. This couple gave a total of $55 million to the museums new building, which will be designed by Renzo Piano. I think this is an amazing gesture. Not only is this donation an extremely large sum, but it is also going to a great cause. The New York art museum has some amazing art, and is truly a beautiful museum. This donation also says a lot about the character of the Resnick family. Not only did they work hard to provide a great live for themselves; but with that wealth they've accumulated instead of spending it on cars or jewelry they donated it so that others can benefit from the museum. I enjoyed this article because it was a great story, and it was a relief to hear some good deeds done in the news.

I agree Paige, this is a good story! It's so nice to hear about people putting others first, and this family was a great example of that. Now everyone will be able to enjoy the donation, and I am sure that the family will enjoy seeing everyone so happy, which may have been an unexpected twist. Keep up the good posts! -Andrea L
I definitaly agree. I think there need to be more people like that in the world. It is fantastic that they were able to accumulate wealth, but they use it for something awesome. I think more people should support things they believe in, even if its not through money. There are so many ways of doing it, this is just a great example.
I agree with you completely. With all this war and drama from the presidential election going on in our country rite now, it certainly is a relief to hear that there are still those just legitemately nice people who care about preserving the few good things America has going. Its also great to hear that art is not being neglected because It would really be a shame if people forgot about such a fine way of expressing themselves.
Wow... that's a lot of money. I really think that it's great how the Resnick couple has donated that much money to a museum. It really shows how generous they truly are. Have you noticed that donating has almost become a trend or the cool thing to do? Lately, there has been so many wealthy people who generously donating there money to places in need.
