This week we are asking our listeners to help us build the National WWI Memorial in Washington DC. We have a fundraising goal on the episode which people can help us achieve by:
Texting the letters “WWI” to the number 91-999 - When you do that you will get a text right back that provides all the giving instructions.
Text to Give:
Text: “WWI” to 91-999
