I am looking for 11 more sponsors at $600 per sign.
Click here to view the available signs. For your tax deductible gift, you get your name or the right to dedicate the sign to a person or soldier, living or dead -- thus memorializing them forever. If you like you can have a smaller color print of the sign (18” x 24”) for just $35 more. BGES is working another time-sensitive project at North Anna and I would like to get this completed by March 31, 2014 -- less than 3 weeks from now.
The battlefield park at Perryville is expanding thanks to recent land acquisitions and we have promised to play a role in expanding the park™s interpretive display at the appropriate time. Any surplus revenues from this specific appeal will go to our restricted fund to seed additional interpretation over the next 18 months.
We would like to see a broad based participation in this project from our online community -- our goal is 50 donors inclusive of our sign donors. If you cannot or do not wish to sponsor a sign, you can still participate with a lesser gift. We suggest a gift of $108.62 to commemorate the date of the battle (October 8, 1862) or a gift of $150 in honor of the Sesquicentennial of the war. Of course the size of any gift is your decision but we hope that you will give something. Click here to make a gift.
Many of you may not know of the battle -- the undisputed and most readable account of the battle was completed by BGES friend, Kenneth Noe at Auburn University. His book: Perryville, This Grand Havoc of Battle is the best. We will be happy to send you a copy for a donation of $50 (of which $25 is a tax-deductible). For $110 we will have it personally autographed for you -- your tax-deductible portion will be $75. Click here to make a donation and get the book.
Regardless of your preference, I hope you will act on this opportunity today. Spring is coming and this fine and important battlefield has a timeless story to tell -- you and the BGES will help tell it.
Thanks so much
-- Len Riedel, Executive Director
