Plenty of Thanksgiving to Go Around
Dear Friends of Sakonnet Lighthouse:
For the last 140 years, Sakonnet Lighthouse has been more than just a beacon; she’s been a timeless symbol of Little Compton and a perennial survivor. Perched firmly on Little Cormorant Rock, she has weathered hurricanes, tidal waves, and countless generations of seagulls. The Friends have done an excellent job preserving her, with a major renovation in 2012 and vigilant maintenance efforts each year since—all thanks to the leadership of former President Scott Brown and, of course, the support of all of you.
Last year, the Friends completed a repainting project on the upper superstructure and conducted a comprehensive assessment for future work. Each year brings its own unique preservation challenges. The good news is that the lighthouse remains in excellent shape despite enduring a battering over the last few winters—a strong testament to long-term stewardship.
We’re reaching out today because Sakonnet Lighthouse needs more than just a flicker of support—she needs a steady glow! Whether you contribute the equivalent of a candle or a lantern’s worth, every donation helps keep her shining brightly and her story alive. During this season of giving, we are deeply grateful for every dollar you can spare.
The Friends of Sakonnet Lighthouse maintains an endowment fund at the Rhode Island Foundation. To make a gift that will support the Lighthouse, you may use any of the following donation methods.
Thank you for helping us preserve this cherished symbol.
