<div>WE NEED YOUR HELP TO KEEP THE BIGGEST FLAG IN MISSOURI FLYING!
</div>
<div>Our 3 flags are far too weathered to continue wasting money repairing them, only to have them rip again the same day that we put them back up. All the stitching in the world doesn’t matter if the flag you are stitching to is too worn out and is falling apart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We didn’t install the flagpole &amp; never expected to have these expenses, but once we bought the property, we couldn’t stand to see the biggest pole in our 3-state region sit empty, so, not knowing what we were getting into, we bought a few giant flags &amp; started flying them again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, flying such enormous, 30’x60’ flags, 117’ up in the sky, is extremely expensive and neither our family, nor our company can financially absorb these big lump expenses of replacing the flags.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although we greatly appreciate every penny that has ever been donated, we really do, donations have never been enough to even keep up with the expensive and constant flag repairs, much less replacements or pole maintenance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, we are turning to our community &amp; fans for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need new Polyester flags as soon as possible.
</div>
<div>We know we can find cheaper flags, but they have proven to be a waste of money.
</div>
<div>30’x60’ Nylon flags are great for hanging inside a barn or gym, but they simply cannot withstand the abuse these flags take 117’ high in a windy area.
</div>
<div>High quality Poly flags are the only flags worth investing in to fly here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Experience has proven that 3 flags are not enough as there are almost always 2 flags in for repair at a time, so we are almost always flying a flag that is too tattered to be flying as we await the return of another flag. We need to increase our flag inventory from 3 to 4 so we always have a flag on hand in good condition to put up when one inevitably tears.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We also need to continually do regular maintenance &amp; hardware replacement on the pole, crank, cables, buckles, etc. as they also wear out from the constant motion &amp; abuse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is what we need:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$15,529.04 – 4) 30’x60’ American Made Flags from United-states-flag.com
</div>
<div>$159.02 – Shipping
</div>
<div>$1,000 – 4-hour Aerial Lift for Pole Maintenance
</div>
<div>$542.69 – Cable Kit &amp; Install
</div>
<div>$17,230.75 – Subtotal
</div>
<div>$1,033.85 - Missouri/Webster Use/Sales Tax
</div>
<div>--------------------------------
</div>
<div>$18,264.60 – Total Needed
</div>
<div>$547.94 – GoFundMe’s Card Fees
</div>
<div>--------------------------------
</div>
<div>$18,812.54 - Fundraiser Goal
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We don’t need to find someone to make a $18k donation, all we need is for the hundreds of people who love seeing these flags fly, to simply donate $5, $10 or $20 each.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We can do this together!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>CAN'T DONATE? Just sharing this to your social media is a much appreciated way of contributing! :)
