Dear Cory-Rawson Community:
I wanted to take some time to update you on the current status of the proposed project. Fundraising has been a struggle to this point, but I am pressing on. The goal at this point is to begin construction this Spring.
There have been many in-kind donations made to date. There have also been several items donated within the project as well as monetary gifts. Here are a few of those:
-landscaping and installation of brick pavers by Miller Grounds Care
-excavation for the project by PJ Rupright
-design and 3D model
-2 of the 3 granite benches have been provided
-1 flag pole and flag
-several engraved brick pavers
-a few monetary donations
Because of the generosity of items given, monetary donations, and donations of time, the cost of the project has come down significantly. Please consider one of the options below to help me begin construction this Spring.
CONTRIBUTING TO THE HONOR GARDEN
Pavers are available to honor family members involved in one of the branches of our military for $100 each. See the order form in the brick section.
Granite benches, flagpoles and flags, water fountains, medallions, concrete work, masonry work, landscaping materials, lights, and other items can be sponsored or donated within the project.
