YOU DID IT!

THANK YOU to the 51 new Honor Guard members who joined through the Legacy Challenge!

For each new Honor Guard member, a $1,000 gift was made in their name to the American Battlefield Trust.

Challenge participants raised $50,000 for battlefield preservation – and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Thank you to our Challenge participants – without you, we simply could not save the land we do.
America’s hallowed ground will be preserved, thanks to you – now and in the future!

Thank you to our Legacy Challenge sponsor who generously donated the matching funds for the Challenge:

Robert Bailey

“I have had a love of American history, and the Civil War in particular, ever since I can remember. To read about the battles is one thing, but to have the opportunity to visit where they actually happened enhances the experience immeasurably. To be able to guarantee that experience for future generations is the source of great satisfaction.”
