Join the Cause!
NFDA's Celebration of Freedom Campaign relies upon the pride, patriotism and enthusiasm of people just like you, so get involved!
From the start, NFDA's Celebration of Freedom Campaign has relied upon the pride, patriotism and enthusiasm of funeral service professionals.
Join the Cause reveals the story behind the birth of NFDA's Celebration of Freedom Campaign, which seeks to raise $5 million on behalf of the funeral service profession for construction of the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. The article, which was written by Jean Plummer, explains how Dick Morris, the national chairman of NFDA's campaign, and the staff at his funeral home, Kirby-Morris Funeral Home in El Dorado, KS, helped turn a grassroots effort into a national fund raiser.
Plummer is the public relations director for Kirby-Morris Funeral Home in El Dorado, KS, and is handling public relations for Morris.
