Capital Campaign Connects Past Ingenuity with Future Possibilities
To support its $10 million capital campaign to preserve the legacy of the U.S. Navy’s construction battalions, the CEC/Seabee Historical Foundation needed a theme, message, and website that would draw donors into the story of the Seabees and inspire them to fund state-of-the-art exhibits at the U.S. Navy Seabee Museum in Port Hueneme, CA. The campaign coincided with the 75th Anniversary of the Seabees and the 150th anniversary of the Civil Engineer Corps. The capital campaign raised money to both preserve the legacy of the Seabees and to inspire a new generation with their ”Can Do” spirit. The brochure reflected the connection between the past and future while focusing on the unique attribute of the Seabees – ingenuity.
