I'm not a re-enactor but want to help the event. How can I?

If you have ever witnessed this dramatic recreation of D-Day, you know that it takes a lot to time, effort, dedication, and of course funding to organize, promote and bring together all the elements of a Normandy style invasion. If you like to help in bringing back to life this historic day, there are a number of ways you can without donning a uniform.

Volunteer - There is nothing stronger than the heart of a Volunteer! Help us on the day of the event by assisting event coordinators with setting up special seating areas for our Veterans, with public parking or maintaining the grounds. There is so much to do and your help would be very appreciated. Please email us if you can lend us a hand. Thank you from all those so dedicated to preserving our history.

Donations - Of course monetary contributions are always welcome and your kind donation will be used to further enhance the educational experience of D-Day Conneaut. If you would like to make a tax deductible contribution please contact our treasurer. If you itemize your deductions, upon your request we'll be happy to provide a formal letter indicating the amount of your contribution. Online donations can also be sent securely via Paypal.

Donations of Goods - Donations of a variety of goods can be made as well. Beverages, especially bottled or bulk water, snacks, paper goods, computer supplies, sandbags, plus plywood and poles for bunkers and beach obstacles are very much appreciated. If you or your company would like to make a contribution of this nature, please send us an email.

Decorating the Beach - Interested in being a part of the invasion without getting your feet wet? Well the best way is to build a hedgehog beach obstacle. The cost of building materials as well as your time building these hallmark symbols of the D-Day are also tax deductible. Your donation will become the property of D-Day Ohio and will be stored for use year after year. Plans for these obstacles which look like the children's toy "jack" are available for by clicking on the picture below. So if you have some extra lumber lying around and time on your hands, turn it into something special for the event that honors the turning point of the 20th century, D-Day! Let us know if you can help us out by decorating the beach! The allied troops will certainly appreciate the cover...
