DONATIONS
FOR A NOBLE CAUSE
N.
B. Forrest Camp 3 is a benevolent organization that provides its services
free of charge. Consequently, one of the primary Camp functions is
the generation of funds to support its historical projects. One such
method is the videoing of guest speaker programs and local historical
Civil War events and offering them as quality DVD programming. These
programs can be reviewed on the VIDEO link. The Camp is also supported by member dues and the generous support
of citizens who appreciate the historical efforts made by the SCV and N.
B. Forrest Camp 3. All donations are used exclusively for
restoration projects in the Chattanooga and North Georgia area; and all
donations are tax deductible.
Currently,
the most significant need for funds is for the restoration of the
Chattanooga Confederate Cemetery. The cemetery has fallen into
disrepair through years of weathering and insufficient funding.
Current estimates for repairs to the entrance arch, walls, cast iron
historical markers, band pavilion and Memorial Obelisk Monument (see CEMETERY)
total approximately $100,000.
The
cemetery restoration is a noble historical project. It reflects a
significant part of Chattanooga's history and culture. In addition
to approximately 2,500 Confederate (both Caucasian and Negro) Soldiers,
some Union Soldiers and many prominent veterans are interred, therein.
Your donations can greatly assist in preserving this historical treasure
and heritage.
Donations can be made by either of two
methods: Personal Check or Via The
Internet.
