eBay Auction in Aid of The Pentagon Memorial Fund
A 1979 Mercedes-Benz is being auctioned off on eBay this week. The owner, Lillian Champion, is donating 100% of the proceeds to the Pentagon Memorial Fund. Mrs. Champion is donating the proceeds because on September 11, 2001 she suffered the loss of only daughter, Marjorie Champion Salamone, who was working in the Pentagon that fateful morning.
The Pentagon Memorial Fund is a non-profit organization established by the families of the 184 victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in Washington, DC. The Memorial Fund's mission is to provide for the construction and permanent maintenance of the Pentagon Memorial, a beautiful park located at the grounds of the attack that will provide a place for reflection, remembrance and renewal.
The construction cost of the Pentagon Memorial is estimated to be $18 million dollars along with a lifetime endowment of $10 million for maintenance and care. The target for beginning construction of the Pentagon memorial is fall, 2006 with a completion date in 2008. The memorial will consist of 184 individual memorial units next to the Pentagon displaying the name of each victim.
