The WTC Steel Foundation
has a plan to place a bronze plaque with a piece of steel column retrieved from
the rubble of the World Trade Center in the capital city of every state, Puerto Rico, and in Washington, D.C. on a future September 11th.

Will you help us do this?

We want to memorialize the victims of terrorism from New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania with this nationwide project. We want to symbolize the resolve and unity of our nation in the aftermath of the attacks.  We want to help inspire American citizens to stand up to this world-wide plague of brutality.

The Student Council of Oak Ridge High School in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the US Army Corps of Engineers have dedicated one steel column that has been divided into 52 pieces to be donated to each of the capital locations.  The segments of the column are incorporated into a plaque to be placed in or at the capitol building in each state or in a school in each capital city.

Each plaque will cost approximately $3,500 to build and distribute.  100% of donations will go to construction and distribution of the plaques and promoting the idea in the media and with legislatures.  This complete dedication of funds to the actual work is possible because the work of the Foundation will be carried out by its officers, board members, and students and staff of Oak Ridge Schools, all on a volunteer basis.  If a state chooses to display the plaque outside, all the plaques are galvanized to protect them from the weather and to give the steel a uniform appearance.  With an outdoor display addition money will be needed to build a foundation and provide a granite block for mounting the plaque. 

Students from the State of Wyoming became the first to receive their 9/11 Memorial Plaque to be mounted inside the state capitol.

The WTC Steel Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) Non-Profit Charitable Foundation registered with the Internal Revenue Service. 
All donations are 100% tax deductible.
