If you’re looking to donate to a worthy cause, you might want to check out the online fundraiser at https://www.mightycause.com/organization/Sbvet. Now at three percent of its $6,000 goal, the fundraiser to raise funds for a statue in honor of local veteran’s and their sacrifices is up and running, with just 13 days to go until November 11 and Veteran’s Day, on which it is hoped the statue will be dedicated at Veteran’s Park in downtown Stanley. More information is available at the website.

“In honor of all local Veterans' and those that have perished in war, the Stanley-Boyd School District Veterans Day Committee, will be raising funds to pay for a memorial statue that will be erected on Veterans Day 2020. 100% of the funds raised will go toward this worthy cause.

Many men and women of service have not only died in wars but have also come home after serving their country. The gift that these men and women have given to their country needs to be remembered. One way to remember their efforts is through the construction of a memorial.

These memorials celebrate national spirit and heritage.

This beautiful piece of art and sculpture will enrich the landscape of Soo Line Veterans Memorial Park in Stanley, Wisconsin, and leave a lasting tribute to those that fought for our liberties.”
