PLAY NUMBER TWELVE: Provide Funding for a Veteran Memorial.
My Message on Providing Funding for a Veteran Memorial
As I prepare to attend a number of Memorial Day Events today, I have come to the realization, that the Town of Morrisville must work with our Veteran Memorial Committee to accelerate the project with our own seed funding.
Although the Committee is working on raising funds on their own, seed Funding from the Town can enable the Town and Committee to showcase a more sophisticated design to prospective owners of the project.
In addition, I cannot think of a better way for our Council and Town to show our commitment to the Veterans of our nation, than investing Town dollars to the Project.
As we execute the 2021/2022 Budget, I will be looking for available dollars to make some type of investment in the Veteran Memorial!

The Morrisville Veterans Memorial Foundation, Inc. was chartered as a non-profit corporation by the State of North Carolina on March 2, 2016. Its mission is to raise funds for the construction of a memorial that will recognize and commemorate veterans of the United States armed forces for their service to the nation and its citizens.
The purpose of the memorial is to serve as a site for reverent reflection on the service and sacrifices made by veterans.
The Town has generously provided land next to the Indian Creek Greenway on which the memorial will be built. This centrally-located site has high visibility, easy accessibility, clean restrooms, and free parking.
Please consider helping the Memorial Foundation with a contribution. The goal is to raise funds for the construction of a memorial that will recognize and commemorate veterans of the United States armed forces for their service to the nation and its citizens.
All contributions, bequests, devises, transfers, and gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible.
