Welcome to the 93 cents for Flight 93 Website. We are working toward
raising funds to help build the permanent memorial for the heroes of
Flight 93. Our goal is for every person to donate 93 cents for our
cause.
The Flight 93 national Memorial is the nation's tribute to the 40
passengers and crew members aboard United Flight 93 who lost their
lives on September 11, 2001. A $30 million capital campaign, directed
by the National Park Foundation, will support the construction of the
memorial as the central feature of a new national Park near
Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The campaign is partnering with the HALO Foundation (Akron, OH) to
develop a special intergenerational fundraising program among students
to connect these young people to the Flight 93 National Memorial
through service and charity. The president of the HALO Foundation,
Sharon Deitrick, is a member of the national Steering Committee.
HALO's skill at bringing together children, adolescents, young
adults, and senior citizens allows the story of Flight 93 to be shared
amongst many, thus creating awareness that is necessary to bring the
Memorial to life. By exploring and creatively expressing the concepts
of courage, heroism, and patriotism , the school programs and events
enable students to participate in the awareness and fundraising
campaign.
