Blanchard City Appeals for Assistance as Veterans Memorial Fundraising Falls Short

2023-12-15

Blanchard city is seeking financial assistance to complete a veterans memorial, after falling $65,000 to $70,000 short of the revised $402,000 target. The fundraising began in May 2020, but inflation and COVID-19 have made the goal harder to reach. The city encourages donations and brick purchases to honor veterans.
