Manassas Journal Messenger | Liberty Memorial drive nears $30,000
The 9-11 Liberty Memorial Committee has raised almost $30,000 toward its goal of $300,000 to build and maintain a tribute to those area residents who died in terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
“This week’s contributions clearly matches the spirit of the 9-11 Memorial with donations and pledges coming from all segments of the community,” said Janet Ellis, chairman of the committee.
The memorial will be built on the grounds of the McCoart Administration Center, the county’s administrative complex on the Prince William Parkway.
As a result of the outreach efforts of the Prince William County Office on Youth, several $1 contributions were collected during the Manassas Fall Jubilee.
“Remember if every area resident gave $1, the memorial could be built immediately,” Ellis said.?”Of course, we also appreciate the individuals and groups who went beyond this and contributed greater amounts of money.
“Each and every donation, large and small, is great appreciated and needed,” Ellis said.
The Potomac News and Manassas Journal Messenger joined the Northern Virginia Electrical Cooperative this week by becoming a Patriot Star sponsor by pledging $5,000.
“So now, the Potomac News and Manassas Journal Messenger and NOVEC challenge the community to meet and or exceed their $5,000 pledges,” Ellis said.?
