Institute continues fund-raising programs

Leaders at the Dole Institute of Politics are seeking sponsors for the building and dedication events.

Personalized bricks can be purchased for $250; proceeds will be used for the construction fund.

The bricks may be personalized with a name or message of up to three lines of text and 14 characters per line. As many as 200 bricks will be placed at the institute’s entrance.

The deadline is Wednesday to purchase bricks for installation by the July 22 dedication. To purchase a brick, call 749-3911 or visit www.doleinstitute.org/dedication/brick.html.

Individuals or businesses also can participate in the Adopt a Hero program. A $500 contribution will help pay for lodging, food and airfare for one of the approximately 100 World War II veterans scheduled to tell their war stories in the Memory Tent during the July dedication events.

The contribution provides an “Official Premier Sponsorship” recognition in the dedication program, two VIP tickets to the July 22 dedication ceremony and two tickets to the Memory Tent luncheon after the ceremony.

For more information, call 749-3911.
