Rydell Cars Announces that The Veterans Memorial Park will be this Year’s Recipient of the 13th Annual Rydell Car and Bike Show Charity Event
Grand Forks, ND., April 30, 2018 – Rydell Cars is pleased to announce that The Veterans Memorial Park will be this year’s recipient of the Rydell Car and Bike Show Charity Event. The Rydell Annual Charity Benefit Car & Bike Show is a time for the Rydell “family” to give back to the community they are proud to be part of.
Each year, the Rydell employees vote on a local charity that will be the beneficiary of the charity event. 100% of all money donated at the show goes to the chosen charity including a Rydell company match of up to $40,000. No money is taken out to cover the expenses of the show. Since 2007 the Rydell Car and Bike Show Charity Event has raised $665,601.70 for local organizations.
According to the organization The Veterans Memorial Park is a place where the legacy of American military veterans can be recognized and honored. The Park, when completed, will represent all five active-duty United States Uniformed Services and their respective Guard and Reserve Units (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard).
Through the efforts of veterans, military members, and their families and friends and supporters, a Veterans Memorial Wall will be built on a six-acre site located NW of the Columbia Mall and adjacent to the roundabout at 24th Ave. South and 34th Street.
The Veterans Memorial Park will feature
Five Obelisks representing each of the five branches of military service
An educational Memorial Granite Wall with laser-etched images to depict the American veteran role from the first wars and conflicts to the latest electronic warfare
An anchor from the USS Kiska, a Navy ammunition ship that saw service during the Vietnam War
Memorial stones to honor loved ones who have served or are currently serving
Park Shelters and Benches for meditation / reflection
Future development incorporating additional military equipment
