East Cooper Rotary Club Lines Up Flags for Heroes

(MOUNT PLEASANT, SC)…To celebrate Veterans Day, East Cooper Breakfast Rotary Club will showcase a breathtaking display of hundreds of American Flags.  Flags will be on display November 10 through November 16 at the Cold War Memorial near the USS Yorktown at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum. 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 along with the support of the USS Yorktown Foundation.  All of the funds raised through the Flags for Heroes program will be used for Rotary service projects and to support the Charleston Fisher House, a comfortable place for the families of heroes to stay while they are being treated at Charleston’s Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center. Last year, the club gave $1,000 to Charleston Fisher House, provided over 250 pairs of shoes for kids in need in partnership with the Mount Pleasant Lunch Rotary Club, and partnered with Toys for Tots by donating over 80 children’s bikes.

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.
