Fundraiser to help Sept. 11 memorial in DeKalb

DeKalb County firefighters and other volunteers creating a Sept. 11 monument will hold a fundraiser later this month to help cover the $20,000 cost.

The 2,200-square foot monument features a sculpted eagle wing coming out of the ground with a beam from the World Trade Center set in front of it. It is slated to be unveiled on Sept. 11 in front of DeKalb police and fire headquarters.

Arizona’s at Stonecrest, a steakhouse near Stonecrest Mall, will hold a fundraiser from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 25.
