A new Ely monument to all veterans is planned for placement near the community center.  The Ely Legion has been raising funds for several years and is nearly ready to erect and dedicate the memorial.  The hope is to dedicate the monument by Fall Fest 2024.  The total cost of the monument is approximately $60,000.

Therefore, we need your help.  If you would like to make a donation to support the monument, the veterans of Ely would be very grateful.

Checks may be sent to Veterans Memorial, PO Box 255, Ely Iowa 52227. 

Donations can be made via PayPal here.  Please indicate “Monument” when prompted as to the purpose of the payment.

Also, for every dollar you donate up to a total of $5,000, the Ely Sons of the American Legion will match dollar for dollar.

Thank you for your help.
