Culpeper Renaissance, Inc.

Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. (CRI) is patriating in Give Local Piedmont held on May 13th.

Donations made to CRI during Give Local Piedmont will provide much needed funding for the Culpeper Hometown Heroes Banner Program.

CRI will reopen the program with all new hometown hero banners to be displayed.  Current banners will be donated to the families that submitted applications for the program in 2021. 

The Culpeper Hometown Heroes Banner Program, sponsored by CRI and donations made from our community, is a celebration to honor our past and present members of the armed forces. The program will honor veterans, living and deceased, honorably discharged and active-duty members of the Armed Forces with banners, to be displayed on light poles within the Culpeper downtown district for Memorial Day and Veteran's Day starting in spring 2026. Each banner will feature one or two (dependent upon the amount of submitted applications) individual’s photo, name, and branch of service and/or credentials.
