Give a unique Holiday gift that will last a lifetime.
Over the past two years the Miles Davis Memorial Project has held a variety of fundraisers. The community support has been outstanding. The project continues to gain momentum and the statue in downtown Alton is on the horizon. Plans are underway for an unveiling sometime in 2015. The sculptor, Preston Jackson, has begun work on the statue and site work is being scheduled.
According to Patricia Ackman, “we are nearing our financial goal but still need your help”. She further stated, “now is the time to purchase a brick or block for your holiday giving, they make great and lasting gifts.”
