This Memorial Plaza is being built by contributions from people interested in keeping alive the memory of the lives lost, - the families affected by those lost, - the people who lived through the horrifying experience of survival and who will forever be left with terrifying memories. We remember the many heroic acts performed by ordinary people when caught up in catastrophic circumstances.

The heinous events of September 11, 2001 have changed our life, but our country and its people are sound and firm in our belief that “We Shall Never Forget!” Words of our resolve were best said by our President George W. Bush on September 12, 2001 when he said: “These Acts Shattered Steel, But They Cannot Dent the Steel of American Resolve.”

The California State Fair Memorial Plaza Foundation is a Public Charity and has been granted a 501(c)3 status by the Internal Revenue Service which allows all donations to be tax deductible. 100% of all donations will be used for the construction and maintenance of the Memorial Plaza.
