The Meridian Trust North Star Foundation is hosting its annual Flags for Heroes fundraiser this September. This beautiful flag display is a celebration of your hero or heroes and can be anyone in your life… military personnel, family members, healthcare workers, first responders, teachers, veterans, pastors, mentors, troop leaders, non-profit leaders, volunteers, friends and family…. just to name a few! You can honor your heroes by sponsoring a flag. Meridian Trust’s branches in Cheyenne, Lander, Jackson and Rawlins, along with Alliance and Scottsbluff in Nebraska, and Wellington, Colorado, will fly flags in these heroes’ names. Flags will be raised September 3rd and remain up through September 12th.
By honoring a hero in your life, you’ll also be a hero to those in need. All proceeds from this fundraiser go back into your local community! The North Star Foundation raised over $30,000 in 2024 alone through Flags for Heroes to help struggling families. The money raised this year will benefit the North Star Foundation’s Heat Energy Assistance Trust (HEAT) program that provides assistance to those in need with their heating bills, as well as to pay off local student lunch debt.
Individuals can support this fundraiser by sponsoring a flag for just $20. You’ll have the opportunity to share your hero’s name and their story on a tag that is attached to the display flags. The community is invited to take a stroll through the iconic display and read about everyday heroes near and far. Donors will get the keepsake tag(s) mailed to them or they can pick their tag(s) up at their selected branch once the event ends…
