The Kosciuszko Foundation 77th Annual Ball
January 27, 2012
This year's Ball will be dedicated to "Polish Contributions to Science," and our honoree will be Nobel Prize-winning physicist, MIT professor Frank Wilczek.
Dear Friends,
Spring is approaching and we're preparing for our 77th annual fundraising ball to be held on April 28th at the Waldorf-Astoria. This year's Ball will be dedicated to "Polish Contributions to Science," and our honoree will be Nobel Prize-winning physicist, MIT professor Frank Wilczek.
Poles have had an astronomic impact on science. Copernicus showed the world that the earth revolved around the sun, and Maria Sklodowska-Curie is the only person to have won Nobel Prize in two separate branches of science-physics and chemistry. The list of eminent Polish scientists is quite long, and the Kosciuszko Foundation wants to make that list even longer by educating the next generation of Polish and Polish-American scientists.
In 1927, our founder Stephen Mizwa wrote to Sklodowska-Curie asking permission to establish a scholarship in her name. She wrote back and enthusiastically agreed. But those plans were put on hold during WWII and the Cold War. Now, we would like to renew Mizwa's idea to begin a Maria Sklodowska-Curie Science Scholarship.
The Kosciuszko Foundation will also establish the Collegium of Eminent Scientists to honor renowned scientists of Polish descent in the United States, to highlight and publicize their achievements, and provide a nexus of interaction with scientists in Poland. The Collegium will publicize accomplishments of its Members through the news media and the Internet, and identify, record and catalogue information about these eminent Polish-American scholars.
You can help us to achieve these goals. Join us on April 28th to dance, celebrate, socialize and network at the glamorous Waldorf-Astoria. If you cannot attend, please purchase an ad in the Ball journal and buy raffle tickets to win fabulous prizes.
And feel free to call with ideas for funding the Sklodowska-Curie Science Scholarship.
Sincerely,
Alex Storozynski
President & Executive Director
