The Brooklyn Children's Museum has received a $2.5 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to develop the Brooklyn Character initiative aimed at fostering strong character traits in children.
"As the first Muslim woman elected to the New York City Council, Iâm excited to celebrate another joyful Eid al-Fitr at Brooklyn Childrenâs Museum. This event has become a beloved tradition, bringing together Brooklynâs beautifully diverse families and creating a space where young people can engage with the vibrant cultures of Muslim communities across our city and beyond. In a time when fostering understanding and unity is more important than ever, I'm proud to see this celebration grow each year."
