St. Croix River cruise fundraiser set to support Stillwater Veterans Memorial

A charity cruise along the St. Croix River is being organized to raise funds for the Stillwater Veterans Memorial, with proceeds directed toward ongoing maintenance and improvement of the site. Organizers say the event is designed to combine a scenic river outing with community support for a local tribute to military service members.

Event details

The cruise will travel a portion of the St. Croix River, drawing participants from Stillwater and surrounding communities. Tickets and sponsorship contributions are expected to go directly to the memorial, which honors veterans from the area. Organizers are encouraging residents, families, and local businesses to take part in the daytime event.

Supporting a community landmark

The Stillwater Veterans Memorial serves as a place of remembrance for those who have served in the U.S. armed forces. Funds raised through the cruise will help cover costs associated with upkeep, grounds work, and future enhancements to the site.

Community members interested in similar efforts can read about other local tributes honoring veterans and ongoing initiatives such as a bipartisan bill seeking to expand accessible housing for veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities.

How to participate

Supporters are being asked to consider attending the cruise or contributing to the memorial fund. Key ways to get involved include:

• Purchasing tickets for the river cruise
• Sponsoring a portion of the event or the memorial itself
• Volunteering time for setup, hospitality, or on-board activities
• Sharing information about the fundraiser within the community

Additional details, including departure information and ticket pricing, are expected to be released by organizers in the coming weeks. Those with questions about the memorial can find background on related cases, such as a recent court case involving a Marine veteran, to stay informed on broader veterans-related news.
