GAINESVILLE - Interactive Neighborhood for Kids is getting closer to its fundraising goal for a new state-of-the-art children's museum in south Hall County. <br />
<br />
The non-profit must raise $2 million by next summer to take advantage of a $2 million gift from an anonymous donor. INK started its fundraising earlier this year.<br />
<br />
"Many individuals within our community have now committed up to a million dollars to give to our campaign at this point, so we're halfway to our goal. We're so excited," INK Executive Director and found Sheri Hooper said.<br />
<br />
Hooper said the nonprofit is optimistic it will reach the goal to move its facility off of Friendship Road.<br />
<br />
"(It's) a very aggressive goal, but we decided to go for it because we believe in our kids and really want a better future for many children in our community, and we felt this is the best way to do it."<br />
<br />
The museum is currently located on Chestnut Street in Gainesville.<br />
