The September 11th Memorial in Lower Manhattan received a million dollar donation Thursday courtesy of a Swiss foundation.

Given by the Starr International foundation, it's the largest gift for the memorial to come from outside the U.S.

So far, the National September 11th Memorial and Museum has raised over $350 million and hopes to raise at least $25 million more.

The goal is to open the museum by the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
