America Unites
A Tribute To Those Lost On September 11, 2001
Fundraising Ideas
Within a few days of the September 11
tragedy, our Product Development Department created a new collection of
feature plaques commemorating the tragedy.
Matthews also took the lead in helping
the nation's healing by donating a 6' x 6' bronze statue of a firefighter
in a poignant kneeling position to the City of New York in remembrance of
the heroes who gave their lives while assisting in rescue operations.
There are several resources available
to help you present these features to your customers:
-
A 10-minute presentation
that includes a video of national and regional news stories detailing
Matthews' donation of the firefighter statue. This program can be used
for state shows and meetings.
-
The America Unites flyer
that showcases the collection of new features
-
Poster-size prints of
the feature plaques
-
Matthews' web site has
been updated to include photos of the new features that can be downloaded
-
Eight-inch cold-cast bronze
replicas of the firefighter statue
-
6" x 4" magnesium
replicas of the September 11th plaque that includes an original verse
beneath scenes of the sites in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania
that were transformed by the acts of terrorism
