Help Bring Home The Adams
The Jacksonville Historic Naval Ship Association (JHNSA) wants you to be a focal point in the effort to bring the USS Charles F. Adams (DDG-2) to Downtown Jacksonville as an interactive attraction. The JHNSA and the Adams Class Veterans Association (ACVA) are involved in a Capital Campaign to raise the necessary funds to restore the ship, bring her home and prepare a world-class venue. This public-private partnership needs your help in a number of ways:
• Monetary (both individual and corporate) and In-Kind donations
• Volunteers to assist with fund-raising efforts
• Volunteers to support our Visitor’s Center at The Jacksonville Landing
• Volunteers, particularly Navy veterans, to help maintain and restore the ship when it arrives
• Volunteers to staff and operate the ship and Visitor’s Center
• Donations of ship’s equipment or other useful supplies
