Flags for Fort Snelling Donations
In 2018, Flags for Fort Snelling raised enough funds to purchase 200,000 disposable flags. Tens of thousands of flags are lost to damage each year simply because these flags were not meant for this sort of long-term use.
For 2020, we have started the fundraising effort for a new sustainable flag staff- The Legacy Flag. This new retractable plastic flag staff will be substantially more durable and is designed to contain the flag within an outer shell for protection. These flags will last decades for incredible cost and environmental savings!
Thank you for every effort and contribution, it is amazing how much support we have received in honor of our American Heroes.
DONATE
Donations to Flags for Fort Snelling will be used to support the production of the new sustainable flag staff. Our goal is to raise enough funds to order 250,000 Legacy Flags. This would be enough inventory to cover Fort Snelling’s growth for over ten years. The annual fundraising and budgetary needs would include annual flag order to cover the continual cemetery expansion.
2022 FFFS Fundraiser
$62,964 of $800,000 raised
Legacy Flag Fundraiser:
A permanent collection for
Fort Snelling National Cemetery
A permanent collection of the new retractable flags made to endure the weather, handling and storage is what will root the ability for this tradition to happen Memorial Day after Memorial Day for generations to come. If we do not reach our fundraising goals, the current flags all eventually get destroyed, and the volunteers won’t have the flags to place some Memorial Day in the near future.
So remind your online friends, family, schools, companies, organizations, VFWs and Legions of the FFFS Mission. Thank you for your continued support from our Forever Americans!
