2026 will be the 25th anniversary of the FDR wheelchair statue and the completion of the FDR Memorial.

  • Mar - 12 - 2025

We are proud to serve as Co-Chairs of the Planning Committee for the 25th Anniversary of the FDR Memorial Wheelchair Statue, organized by the FDR Memorial Legacy Committee (FDR Committee).

As you review this packet of information and available sponsorship opportunities, we encourage you to support this historic anniversary at which we will celebrate and honor “a Monument to Freedom”, the disabled Americans who fought tirelessly to remove disability from the shadows of history and to enshrine what leadership can look like, and the FDR Memorial itself as a beacon of hope and unyielding dedication to the ideals of our nation.

This is an opportunity for you to not only attach yourself to this historic and iconic Memorial, it’s also an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions around the epic campaign for the wheelchair statue, its impact, and what more we can do to ensure that it is a lasting dedication, not only to President Roosevelt, but to the millions who visit the Memorial each year.

While there will be much to share about this historic gathering in the months to come, we hope that you will take this opportunity to reserve your sponsorship today.

Please contact Mary E. Dolan, FDR Committee, Co-Founder and Executive Director at mary@fdrmemoriallegacy.com or 202-368-1083.
