National Program

This years national theme is "Reflections of Independence".
The national Project is the Preservation of the Morris Island Lighthouse
The 2009-2010 National Project is to raise funds to aid in the restoration and preservation of the Morris Island Lighthouse. C.A.R. will have a larger impact on this important restoration by working with Save the Light, Inc., a non-profit organization located in Charleston, South Carolina. The Morris Island Lighthouse, or the “Old Charleston Light” as it is more affectionately called, has welcomed ships entering Charleston for more than three centuries. The first cornerstone of this monument of history was laid in 1767 and nearly three centuries later it continues to stand tall. Due to many years of erosion and exposure to the elements, the entire foundation and physical structure of the Morris Island Lighthouse is in great disrepair. Funds raised by the National Society of the Children of the American Revolution will go specifically towards the completion of Phase 2 of Save the Light, Inc.’s “Master Plan.”
