Hosting The Wall That Heals is a tremendous job – and it calls for a tremendous number of area people to donate what they can. Money is still needed for the members of the Wake Forest Purple Heart Association to provide all the ancillary items to make the visit as comfortable and safe as possible as well as adding embellishments that will make it truly memorable.
As Wake Forest Commissioner Greg Harrington, a member of the Purple Heart Association, said recently, “There are several things we don’t have sponsors for that are expensive but needed. Let everyone know we appreciate all the donations so far.”
Local businesses and individuals can donate via check or online via PayPal at www.wakeforestnc.gov/the-wall-that-heals.aspx. Checks should be made payable to Wake Forest Purple Heart Foundation and include The Wall That Heals in the memo line. Checks should be mailed to the Wake Forest Purple Heart Foundation, PO Box 168, Wake Forest, NC 27588.
