The Civil War Dance Foundation recently donated $4,000 to six organizations for Civil War preservation and education projects. With this year’s donations, the total has now reached over $53,000 directly from our treasury since we began making donations in 2001. When combined with fundraising events we conducted for other organizations, we have now helped to raise over $250,000! This year’s donations were given to:
$1,000 - Civil War Trust
The Civil War Trust is America's largest non-profit organization devoted to the preservation of our nation's endangered Civil War battlefields. It has saved over 43,000 acres. The Trust also promotes educational programs and heritage tourism initiatives to inform the public of the War's history. The CWDF has conducted several programs for the CWT’s annual conferences and teacher institutes and the CWDF was named the Trust’s Reenactment Unit of the Year in 2011. This donation will continue our designation as a member of the CWT’s “Color Bearers” donor group. www.CivilWar.org
$1,000 - Camp Curtin Historical Society
The Camp Curtin Historical Society & Civil War Round Table is a nonprofit, all volunteer organization, dedicated to the preservation of the history of the Harrisburg area and Camp Curtin in the Civil War. As part of this ongoing mission, the Society has erected two monuments and five wayside markers to create a trail that explains part of that history. This donation will provide funds for additional wayside markers to complete the trail. www.CampCurtin.org
$2,000 - Four National Park Service Sites
The CWDF donated $500 each to Antietam National Battlefield, Gettysburg National Military Park, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, and Monocacy National Battlefield to aid their education and interpretive programs.
The Civil War Dance Foundation urges everyone to support programs and events that aid Civil War preservation and education.
