Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce Launches “Memorial Day on Main” Initiative to Rekindle the True Meaning of Memorial Day

Memorial Day on Main will focus on the reason for Memorial Day through commerce and donating Hero Cards to local classrooms

The Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce (WVCC), in collaboration with the Grateful Nation Project, New North, Fox Cities Chamber, Appleton Downtown Inc., and the Fox Valley Veterans Council, is proud to introduce “Memorial Day on Main,” a month-long program designed to refocus public attention
on the purpose of Memorial Day: honoring the brave men and women who died serving our nation.

The WVCC believes businesses have a significant role to play in shaping their communities. Throughout the month of May, which also coincides with Military Appreciation Month, local businesses are invited to join “Memorial Day on Main.” Participating businesses will receive a special kit containing:

  • A commemorative poster signifying their support for the initiative.
  • A donation of Hero Cards for a local classroom, featuring the business’s logo.
  • A listing on the dedicated “Memorial Day on Main” webpage.

By displaying these materials with pride and bringing Hero Cards into classrooms, businesses become pillars of honor and remembrance, prompting everyone to reflect on the sacrifices made by our fallen heroes.

“Memorial Day on Main” offers various sponsorship levels, allowing businesses of all sizes to contribute. Sponsorships range from $100 to $15,000.

Businesses committed to making a difference and honoring our fallen heroes are encouraged to visit the “Memorial Day on Main” webpage at https://www.wiveteranschamber.org/memorialdayonmain2024/ or contact the Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce for more information.

The Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting military veterans, veteran-owned and veteran-friendly businesses.
