The Prosper Veterans Memorial should be a collaborative effort involving multiple community-based organizations including Prosper Rotary Club, Town of Prosper, Prosper Independent School District, and Prosper Economic Development Corporation.
A committee comprised of representatives from these organizations will continue the management and fundraising for the memorial. The Town of Prosper will provide the property for the site and services for its continued maintenance. The Prosper Rotary Club will provide the project development and oversight, construction proposal review, marketing platforms, financial management and transparency, and serve as the community’s liaison.
Prosper has been planning and designing a memorial to enhance the community and provide recognition to our local community members who have served our country. The Prosper Veteran’s Memorial will serve as a place to gather, reflect, and honor those service members.
In July of 2021, the Prosper Rotary Club was approached to see the project to its completion. Once approved by the Prosper Rotary Club and Foundation boards by unanimous votes, a committee was formed to ensure the project plan was properly developed and executed.
It’s a short, simple phrase that encapsulates a multitude of emotions, a sense of deep gratitude, an abiding feeling of admiration, an unshakable respect, and perhaps most importantly, a boundless expression of appreciation. Five words – “Thank you for your service” – while a meaningful and heartfelt way to convey thankfulness to US veterans, still leaves many with a yearning to demonstrate their gratitude in more profound and concrete ways.
We need your support so please help us recognize out local Veterans. You can support the Prosper Veterans Memorial by making a donation and spreading the word. Together we can make this Happen!
The Rotarians gladly accepted the challenge and immediately began planning for the monument’s funding. First on the list is a commitment from the club membership has committed to donate $25,000 to kick off the drive and then $25,000 in matching funds a year supported to the construction fund. The money will be donated from the Rotary Club’s coffers, including earnings from its highly popular flag program.
