Footprints in the Sand Monument
Tax deductible
Most people have read some version of the Footprints in the Sand poem. The words are very moving. Sculptor Bob Harness read it for the first time on the back of a program while attending a local funeral. He was intrigued by it, took it home to his studio to sketch and also make a three-dimensional model. Friends of Harness told him, "This is so beautiful, it has to be built."
His vision has now been turned into a reality. The Pippen Memorial Park on the Southwest Loop in Carthage, Texas is home to the 14 foot statue. A Foundation was set up to help with fundraising and a 501(3)(c) status was established. Thousands of dollars have been raised, and the project is getting closer to completion, but funds are running low. We need donations to provide lighting and electrical needs for the park. All of your contributions are tax-deductible.
Please visit the Park and see the beauty of this statue.
“Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, ‘Beauty is its own excuse for being.’ Sometimes a thing should be built because it’s beautiful. Besides that, the times are just right for something like this in our world. There are so many depressing things, and this is something that will bring hope to people. It’s amazing to me to think that 500 years from now, this monument will still be here. When we’re dead and gone, something we did will be here for others to enjoy.” - Dr. Kirby Hill, Foundation President.
