On the morning of April 10th, we were 18% to our goal (including receivables), leaving $36,900 to raise for The Fondren Foundation match.
Vandalism is a serious issue and the cemetery has suffered a lot of damage. Your pledge or donation today can make a huge difference. The faster we raise this grant match, the more quickly we can secure the Cemetery and start making needed repairs.
When you click on the Donate button below, you go to the Home Page and will need to scroll down just below the Mission Statement for the Challenge Match Donate Button to support our vision. Thank you!
