East Cooper Breakfast Rotary Club Lines Up Flags for Heroes

(MOUNT PLEASANT, SC)…On Veterans Day weekend the East Cooper Breakfast Rotary Club will showcase a breathtaking display of hundreds of American Flags in front of the USS Yorktown at Patriots Point. Individuals, businesses, corporations and non-profits can sponsor a flag or more in honor of a hero(s) of their choice. Together we can engage and inspire our community by reminding us all of the true meaning of Veterans Day – a celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

The East Cooper Breakfast Rotary Club is proud to host this event.  All of the funds raised through the Flags for Heroes program will be used for local community service projects and to support the Charleston Fisher House. Last year alone, the club used fundraising to provide over 300 pairs of shoes for kids in need in partnership with the Mount Pleasant Lunch Rotary Club, partner with Toys for Tots for distribute toys and donate over 100 children’s bikes, build a sustainable community garden, complete multiple projects at Saint James Santee Elementary School, and more.

The cost of an individual sponsorship is $50 for a single flag and pole. There are also corporate sponsorship opportunities available that include advertising and promotional benefits that will be fulfilled by the Rotary. The Rotary Club will refund the Patriots Point parking fee for anyone who sponsors a flag that wishes to see the display during Veterans Day weekend.
