Dear Civil War Preservationist,
I'm hoping all of you recently received our announcement of the new campaign to save a whopping 1,139 acres at the Appomattox Court House, Sailor's Creek, and Kelly's Ford battlefields. Even more astonishing is that we have an opportunity to save $4,657,490 worth of hallowed battlefield ground for just $82,548! That's a $56 to $1 match. In this time of economic challenge isn't it great to hear how your dollars can do so much more?
I know that many of you work for Federal or state agencies where the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is available to you. If so please
consider supporting the Civil War Trust through the CFC. The Trust
has won three consecutive 4-Star Charity navigator awards, so you know we'll put your hard earned donations to good, efficient use.
- Jim Lighthizer, Civil War Trust President
