9/11 Memorial's SOS Funding Effort Featured on Fox News (Update)
Alan Yamamoto is the latest business owner to take part in the Signs of Support campaign. While the campaign began in New York City, it has expanded to businesses like Yamamoto's that is 3,000 miles away.
Located near Seattle, Yamamoto manages No Bull Saloon, and serves patrons who feel a close connection to 9/11—many work for Seattle-based plane manufacturer, Boeing. "I actually had a donation jar out on the bar and some posters saying ‘if you'd like to donate to the 9/11 memorial, please do so,’” reiterated Yamamoto in Kathleen Foster’s report on Fox News. Businesses get involved by donating and affixing a “We Support the 9/11 Memorial” decal to their window. They are then featured on the memorial’s website and are listed in a donor registry. Interested businesses can join here.
From office supply giant Staples to sandwich-maker Lenny’s, Signs of Support has given an opportunity for businesses, all sizes, to contribute in some way to the cause. Click here to see the full report on the Signs of Support program.
