DONOR HALL OF FAME

 

It is through people like you that we are making such a big difference. Here is a list of our top campaign donors. 

 

Are you on this list? THANK YOU.

 

Challenge your colleagues, friends and family to join you in the Australian Opal Centre's Donor Hall of Fame. 

 

$28.5 million is required to construct the Australian Opal Centre. All we need is for a million people to give $30 each, or 300,000 people to give $100 each.

 

We can do it!

  • Manning Opal Company, Incorporated Manning Opal started in Australia in 1938. My dad, George T Manning arrived from Hungary, thanks to the good graces if the Australian immigration authorities. He began what was to be the most important opal cutting, marketing and trading company in the USA, from 1940 onward. I'm Gerry Manning. I grew up in the business and remain active today. Many of you, old-timers only by now, will remember my father and me. I hope so. It is wonderful that the younger opal community is carrying the opal torch well into the future. So, for my Dad (passed in 1977), for me, for my brother John (now passed) and for the wonderful life that gem opal has provided our family...a small contribution to the future. Many thanks for your hard work. $530.00
