GRANT TO MASON CITY FOUNDATION
MAY 18, 2023
The Music Man Foundation announced a $40,000 grant to the Mason City Foundation on what would have been Meredith Willson’s 121st birthday. Funds will provide general operating support for Mason City’s Music Man Square, Meredith Willson Museum, and Meredith Willson’s boyhood home.
“Meredith Willson and his wife Rosemary shared a deep love of Meredith’s hometown and visited often,” said Sarah Lyding, executive director of The Music Man Foundation. “We’re proud to continue our support of Mason City and its cultural centers, where people can learn more about Meredith’s family, his career, and his famous, Tony Award-winning musical.”
