FEATURED FRIENDS OF THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE

The Franklin Institute was a partner early on in Joy and George Rathmann's educational journey. The Museum helped to ignite a fascination with science through family outings to the Institute. Years later George Rathmann was recognized by the Institute with the Bower Award for Business Leadership for his personal and professional achievements in biotechnology.


Today many members of the Rathmann family continue that inspirational journey as a new generation of the family explores the latest achievements in science and technology showcased at The Franklin Institute.
As Rick Rathmann so eloquently states:


"We look forward today to those future biology lovers, those future young minds sparked by the beauty and intrigue of science, and give them all the wonders of The Franklin Institute."
