| FRESNO COUNTY PEACE OFFICERS' MEMORIAL FOUNDATION FUNDING |
|
The Fresno County Peace Officers Memorial Foundation has been the instrumental force behind the design, construction and maintenance of the beautiful monument situated in the southern portion of Fresno County Courthouse Park. The group of volunteers responsible for the Memorial is dedicated to seeing that the memory of those Peace Officers, who have made the ultimate sacrifice, does not fade into the forgotten history of Fresno County. Every year in the month of May, a memorial service is held to honor those fallen officers. Those who come across the Memorial for the first time are usually surprised at what a moving and respectful tribute this monument represents. For those who have attended the memorial services, the impressions can last a lifetime. The Memorial requires a continual funding for upgrades, maintenance and insurance. The Memorial Foundation is in a continual process of raising money for the monument and a looming reality exists. As distasteful as it may be, reality dictates that our sometime violent and unpredictable society will cause the need to add additional entries. The design and plans for the addition of “triangular columns” to be added to both sides of the monument have recently been completed. The columns are constructed of matching polished granite, and will hopefully fulfill the needs of the monument for a century to come. Today, we are extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to contribute to this very special and enduring memorial. In the spirit of appreciation of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, I would like to make a modest request in reaching out to those in our community to assist us in the funding of this memorial. The Foundation is a non-profit 501 C (3) organization and tax deductions may be taken. Sincerely, James Olson, President |
