We need a few more generous donations for the finishing touches! Our global goal is another €7,000 ($7,550 USD; $10,480 CAD; $11,640 AUD). In Canada, our goal was $15,000 CAD and we have received 13,300 to date, or 88.6% of our target.
A year of dreams, love, devotion, plain hard work, and much anxiety is now culminating into a beautiful reality! The Pärnu Suurpõgenemine ‘44 Memorial is under construction.
The casting of those expressive touching hands has been completed and the metal work begins. And we believe that we will be able to upgrade the base from poured concrete to Estonian granite and install appropriate lighting.
However, the worldwide fundraising continues. Please send your donations to:
UEKN or ERKU (USA) uekn.ee/suurpogenemine-1944-annetused
EERO (Canada) EEROcanada.com
AESL (Australia) eesti.org.au/parnu-monument-appeal
Our memorial to the generation of our parents and forefathers is on target to be respectfully unveiled on the Pärnu riverbank on Saturday September 21st, 2024 at 3:00 PM.
We have almost reached our goal with fundraising! To all of you, who have responded amazingly — thank you, tänan!
