Nick And Lorie Howley Contribute $6 Million To The Expansion Of The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Creating And Funding A Brand-New Educational Center And Programs  

Nick and Lorie Howley, in conjunction with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, today announced a $6 million donation to benefit educational programs and spaces in the Museum’s new expansion. The gift is the first in a series of major gifts that will be announced leading up to the Museum’s expansion and renovation groundbreaking event this Fall.

This gift will support the renovation and build-out of the new state-of-the-art “Howley Family Student Center,” the first space in the Museum’s history uniquely designed and built for the tens of thousands of K-12 students who visit the Rock Hall each year. Award-winning Museum educators will deliver impactful programs in this space engaging every student group during their visit.

“We are grateful for the Howley’s generous support of our mission to engage, teach and inspire through the power of rock & roll. This gift will allow us to impact students for generations,” said the Museum’s President & CEO, Greg Harris.

Additionally, the funds will create the “Howley Rockers Program,” which will provide free on-site and online education programs, led by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame educators, for school-age students (K – 12) at both private and parochial schools nationwide that are supported by the Howley family and/or The Howley Foundation. It will also underwrite the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s participation in the Saint Martin de Porres High School Corporate Work Study Program for the next 16 years.

Nick Howley has served as a member of the Board of Trustees at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame since May of 2016, and is a member of the Education committee.

Further information about the Rock Hall’s expansion is forthcoming including the date of the groundbreaking.
