Regarding 'Glazers Boost Children's Museum' (front page, Oct. 16):

Not only did the Glazer Family Foundation score another touchdown for the arts in Tampa, they won the Super Bowl of bringing the Children's Museum to fruition! Thanks to Heidi Shimberg's leadership efforts in raising monies for this worthy project and her willingness to ask Bryan Glazer whether his family might consider making a significant donation to the Children's Museum, Bryan consulted brother, Edward Glazer, and sister, Darcie Glazer Kassewitz, who immediately sanctioned the gift. The other adult children of Malcolm Glazer, owner and president of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were also in accord.

The Glazer Family Foundation generously gave $5 million to the project. Kudos to the Glazers for this most outstanding gift.
