There is still time to help honor our fallen heroes and bring a tremendous piece of history to Venice.

Construction of the 9/11 Memorial in Venice’s Patriots Park will begin on July 18 and there is still time to donate and help.  The cost to construct the memorial is $68,000 and there is about $1,000 left to raise.  Gulf Coast Community Foundation has pledged $34,000 to the project, and J2 Solutions, a Venice-based construction company is donating a significant portion of its labor.
