Donor Spotlight

We value every member of our growing family. Many of our donors have given in memory of someone. To honor them, we created the Donor Spotlight Series. This offers our donors who have given to Project Recover in memory of an MIA or WWII service member a chance to spotlight that person on our website or social media.
