Honoring Our Heroes: Kiwanis Clubs host 6th Annual Field of Honor® in Georgetown

The Kiwanis Clubs of Georgetown and Pawleys Island invite the community to gather and reflect at the sixth annual Field of Honor® flag display. Running from November 7 through December 12 on the front lawn of the former International Paper site at the foot of the Georgetown bridge, this striking public tribute features hundreds of 3-foot by 5-foot American flags flying in formation. 

Each flag bears a personalized tag dedicated to a veteran, active-duty service member, or first responder. Members of the public, families, and local businesses are invited to sponsor a keepsake flag to honor or remember a loved one.

Event Schedule & Details

• Opening Ceremony: Saturday, November 7 at 2:00 PM

• Closing Ceremony: Saturday, December 12 at 10:00 AM

• Location: Lawn in front of the former International Paper site (at the foot of the Georgetown bridge)

Visitors are encouraged to walk through the field, read the heartfelt dedications, and share stories honoring those who have served.

Supporting Local Youth

Beyond serving as a visible tribute to local heroes, the Field of Honor® directly invests in the community’s future. Proceeds raised from flag sponsorships fund college scholarships for graduating seniors throughout Georgetown County. Over the past five years alone, this initiative has awarded scholarships to 33 local students.

How to Get Involved

• Individual Flag Sponsorships: Start at $50. Following the closing ceremony on December 12, sponsors may collect their keepsake flags or donate them back to Kiwanis for future displays.

• Corporate Sponsorships: Range up to $2,500 and include on-site signage and event program recognition.

• Donations: Unaffiliated donations supporting the scholarship fund are also welcomed.
