Eagle Scout Project- Fire and EMS Memorial

Hello! I am Ian Smilnak, a junior at Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School and am an active member in Boy Scout Troop 3032.  I am in the band and involved in many extracurriculars at school. I have earned the Life Scout rank and am currently working on obtaining the rank of Eagle. I am working on a joint project with Timothy Green, another Life Scout, to build a monument honoring fallen EMS and Firefighters. This project will be located at the Blair County Courthouse on the front patio. I am currently working on raising funds for the EMS monument. This memorial will include three illuminated flag poles, two headstones, and a bell. In order to complete my part of the Eagle Scout project, I will need to raise approximately $5,000. Therefore, I am seeking your help through donations of any kind to help me complete this great project.

Any additional money earned over the goal will be used for memorial maintenance and updates. 

The links provided below are news articles about our project! Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you for your tremendous support as I work to complete this project. Spread the Word!
