The goal of the Obelisk committee is to continue with fundraisers and sponsorships in order to obtain an estimated $100,000 to $200,000. The cost to install, protect, landscape, and maintain these monuments for years to come is a task during this economy shortfalls. We want to thank the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, and our sponsors and donors thus-far for their support. We encourage community businesses and residents to participate in anyway possible. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO PROMOTE TOURISM, IDENTIFY BRONZEVILLE'S RICH HERITAGE, AND CREATE EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS
