Culpeper Renaissance, Inc.

Culpeper Renaissance Inc. (CRI) is thrilled to be part of Give Local Piedmont, the region's spectacular one-day giving event happening on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, hosted by the amazing Northern Piedmont Community Foundation! 

CRI is thrilled to be rolling out the second printing of the Culpeper Hometown Heroes Banner Program to celebrate our veterans—both living and deceased—as well as honorably discharged and active-duty heroes!  These beautiful banners will be first displayed in Spring of 2026 at no cost to our Hometown Heroes and/or their families. Each banner will feature a photo(s), with name, and branch of service of these amazing individuals. 

The current banners that have been proudly displayed since 2021 will be donated to the applicants. CRI would like to thank the current Hometown Heroes and their families for sharing our local heroes with the community.  CRI sincerely thanks you for your service.  Current banners applicants are eligible to apply for the 2026 Culpeper Hometown Heroes Banner Program.  Applications will be on a first-come, first-served basis.  

Your generous donations to CRI during this event will fuel the popular Culpeper Hometown Heroes Banner Program.  This incredible initiative, proudly supported by our wonderful community, is all about honoring our brave past and present armed forces members.
