Morristown Aerie 1311 Fundraiser
Fraternal Order of Eagles
Aerie 1311, Morristown, NJ
For the past 110 years, The Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 1311 has supported over 30 local charities, by raising money and helping others via fundraisers and member dues. To this day we continue our creed of "People helping People"
The day after Christmas in 1957, "The Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 1311" purchased the old Fire House building located at 13 Market Street, Morristown, NJ. We have operated out of this location for the past 58 years. The Fraternal Order of Eagles (F.O.E). is a national organization, each Aerie (our local meeting place) relies on the contributions of its local membership to maintain the integrity of its building. Earlier this year the structurally integrity of the façade of our building was compromised, and was in dire need of replacement.
Our early estimates did not cover the extent of the damage that was found when they removed the existing facade. We are seeking donations from friends and families of our members, to raise the funds required to complete the building façade project. Your donation to the F.O.E. is an investment in our future charitable efforts, and our membership guarantees that we will “pay it forward”.
Our building is where we host all of our fundraisers, events, and member meetings. Once this project is complete, we will have a fully functioning building to continue our work of giving to those in need.
We appreciate your donations, both small and large. To make sure each of our donors are recognized, we will dedicate a plaque to hang in our community room with all the names of the donors, so that we will forever remember those who helped rebuild our building and our mission!
