9/11 Memorial Reaches Fundraising Goal
by Matthew Schuerman
The memorial is scheduled to open in 2011.
Joe Daniels, president of the September 11 Memorial and Museum, says the financial firm gave $10 million.
DANIELS: Our final gift that pushed us over the $350 million goal was a gift from Cantor Fitzgerald, which is so meaningful to us because as everybody knows, Cantor Fitzgerald lost 658 employees on 9/11.
REPORTER: Along with federal and state government contributions, the foundation has enough money to construct the memorial and museum.
But, it will continue to solicit donations for a $25 million endowment to operate and maintain the site.
