The Kiwanis Club of Monticello has announced its annual Flag Sale fundraiser, dedicated to supporting children throughout Drew County. This year’s campaign includes a special project in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, adding to this already meaningful community tradition.
Each year, Monticello residents honor or remember military personnel by purchasing American flags, which are prominently displayed on the City Square and in front of the courthouse. Each flag includes a card recognizing the donor and the individual(s) being honored.
Flags are available for a $30.00 donation and can include up to two dedications. Additional tributes may be added for $2.00 per name. Proceeds from the Flag Sale directly benefit programs that support local children, including bedroom makeovers, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, and scholarships to Girls State, Boys State, and the University of Arkansas at Monticello.
In recognition of this milestone year, the Kiwanis Club is also offering a new corporate sponsorship opportunity. Businesses can sponsor flags to be displayed at the highway intersection in front of Walgreens. Each sponsored flag will feature a large sign displaying the organization’s name and logo. Corporate sponsorships are available for $100 per flag.
Individuals and businesses interested in participating may contact Gail Hooker or Connie McKiever at Union Bank at (870) 460-6400.
Flags will be displayed from mid-May through the Fourth of July. At the conclusion of the display period, donors may either pick up their flags or donate them back to the Kiwanis Club to continue supporting its mission of “Saving One Child at a Time.”
