Business and Corporate Sponsorship
Support Us
Many local businesses
and corporations have assisted us over the years in helping educate the public
about the history and sacrifices made by the men and women of our Armed Forces.
They do this through the sponsorship of special events and/or exhibitions. All
business and corporate sponsors are recognized in local media coverage leading
up to and covering such events, in on-site advertisements during the events, in
the KIDD's Compass museum newsletter which is distributed to our membership
throughout the nation, and on our website.
Some of the past events, fundraisers, and traveling exhibits that have been held at the USS KIDD Veterans Memorial include the following:
·

aquatic animals, a movie, and more throughout the day. The USS KIDD Veterans
Museum opens its doors to the community free of charge every first Sunday from
