Currently, the Fund is working towards building a Visitor Education Center at the Pentagon Memorial, which will feature high-tech exhibits detailing the impact of 9/11 and the extraordinary stories of resilience that emerged from that day. With a fundraising goal of $35 million, the organization seeks to ensure that the lessons of 9/11 are not forgotten and that visitors leave with a deeper understanding of its historical context.
