Cornerstone Bank is proud to support the EcoTarium with a $5,000 sponsorship of the Legacy of the Stars Gala, celebrating the grand opening of the Stoddard Exhibition Hall. The new hall marks a milestone moment for the EcoTarium, enabling Worcester to host major national exhibitions for the first time in its history.
This sponsorship builds on Cornerstone Bank’s ongoing support of the EcoTarium through its multi-year commitment to the museum’s Capital Campaign, to which Cornerstone contributed a total of $12,500 in 2023 and 2024.
“The EcoTarium has enriched generations of children and families by making science and nature accessible and inspiring,” said Cornerstone Bank CEO Todd Tallman. “We are honored to support the opening of the Stoddard Exhibition Hall and help bring world-class educational experiences to Worcester.”
Founded in 1825 as the Worcester Lyceum of Natural History, the Ecotarium is one of the oldest natural history museums in the United States. The Legacy of the Stars Gala honors the individuals and community partners who have strengthened the EcoTarium over its 200-year history. Proceeds from the event will support The Secret World of Elephants, the first major exhibition to be featured in the new Stoddard Exhibition Hall when it opens in March 2026.
Cornerstone Bank remains committed to investing in organizations that inspire curiosity, support lifelong learning and broaden access to educational opportunities for local families.
