The Pilot Club of Leesville is inviting the community to honor loved ones while supporting local park improvements through its “Cardinals at Dogwood Park” fundraiser.

The project allows individuals to purchase decorative cardinal displays that will be placed on the first bridge at Dogwood Park. Cardinals, often seen as symbols of love and remembrance, may be dedicated in memory or in honor of someone special, with each name included on the display.

Each cardinal costs $50, with 100 percent of proceeds going directly toward improvements at Dogwood Park, according to the Pilot Club. Club members say the goal is to create a meaningful visual tribute while enhancing a shared community space.

Pilot Club members are also encouraging fellow pilots and residents to help spread the word by sponsoring at least one cardinal as part of the fundraising effort.

Those interested in participating may contact any Pilot Club of Leesville member or purchase a dedication online at bit.ly/3ZB5q8N.
