COLUMBINE MEMORIAL COMMITTEE UNVEILS FUNDRAISING THERMOMETER
January 16, 2006
LITTLETON, CO –
The Columbine Memorial Committee has installed a new fundraising thermometer
at Clement Park to publicly track the donations made to the Columbine Memorial
Fund. Current funds raised stands at approximately $1,022,000 or 68% of the
current goal of $1.5 Million needed to complete the Memorial.
The thermometer is the next step toward raising awareness for the Memorial
project and encouraging the Columbine community to continue their support
through donations toward the final goal of $1.5 Million. In addition, we
are excited there are now several ways the community can support the
Memorial project through their involvement in our upcoming Spring 2006
Golf Tournament, Remembrance Run, Paper Columbine and Remembrance Pin
Sales. Information on any of these programs can be viewed at the Memorial
website, www.columbinememorial.org.
Current plans are for a project groundbreaking in spring of 2006 and an
announcement on the groundbreaking date will be made in the near future.
Bob Easton, Memorial Committee Chairman, commented: "We are working to raise
awareness of the Memorial project through a series of promotions and events
scheduled for the next few months. This sign, produced with donated materials,
will allow us to display progress toward raising the final $500,000 needed to begin the project."
The Memorial is intended, through the design, to inspire thoughts of
remembrance, reflection and healing. Donations can be made through the
website and more information about the Memorial can be found at
www.columbinememorial.org.
