Grounds of Remembrance fundraising efforts move closer to target

Fundraising efforts for the Grounds of Remembrance are paying off as the Veterans Project Committee has raised more than 82 percent of the project’s $790,000 cost.

So far, donations total $687,169. The funds are comprised of a $250,000 contribution from City Council, $150,000 from Cardinal Health Foundation, gifts from area businesses and organizations for the Sycamore Grove, community-based fundraisers, the sale of personalized Dedication Stones and various Gifts from the Heart.

The committee identified a total fund-raising potential of $1,075,000. Funds collected above the project’s cost will be used for maintenance of the site and further development, such as the installation of an informational kiosk at the entrance of the Grounds of Remembrance or the production of a catalog locating the placement of Dedication Stones.

Community Investment

The park development and architectural execution of the five distinct features will total approximately $790,000. The City of Dublin, in partnership with the Dublin City Schools, has provided the land for the project. Half of the funding needed has been secured with $250,000 from Dublin City Council and a significant community gift of $150,000 from the Cardinal Health Foundation. In addition, gifts from corporations, organizations and individuals have resulted in a successful fundraising campaign. Support, however, is still needed to complete the project.

Community Opportunities

Individuals, organizations and corporations from Dublin and throughout central Ohio have demonstrated generosity and respect for veterans through their support. We encourage you to join their ranks with a heartfelt gesture. Here are some options:

Gifts from the Heart
