‘Beaufort 300’ is a unique opportunity to invest in Beaufort’s future by recognizing its past – the contributions will help pay for a permanent memorial monument to the City’s first 300 hundred years.

The goal is for 300 people to contribute $300 toward Beaufort’s 300th birthday. Corporate sponsorships also are available at $500, $1,000 and greater. All funds will be used for the Tricentennial monument and festivities related to the yearlong celebration.

“For a community that celebrates our unique history and culture on an almost daily basis, 300 years is a huge benchmark,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said. “The Beaufort 300 campaign will create a lasting monument to donors and an important addition to our historical markers downtown.”

Important figures in the City’s history include Jean Ribaut, Marquis de Lafayette, Robert Smalls, Laura Towne and Col. John "Tuscarora Jack" Barnwell – and as Keyserling pointed out, locals can add their names to that list by participating in the ‘Beaufort 300’ fundraiser.
