Field of Flags

The baseball field at South Asheboro Middle School will be transformed into a Field of Honor with 500 U.S. flags posted in perfect rows and columns in tribute of Heroes. Join the Asheboro Rotary Club and the Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce during Veterans Day weekend as they present a panorama of Stars and Stripes.

The public may sponsor flags in recognition of their Heroes.  Veterans, Active Duty Service Men and Women, First Responders, and personal heroes may also be recognized.

Funds raised will benefit Randolph County youth:

  • The Asheboro Rotary Club Scholarship Fund
  • The Asheboro/Randolph Chamber Charitable Foundation to benefit Student LIFT leadership development programs and scholarships.

Residents are invited to visit the Field of Honor display and walk amid the flags.  Sponsored flags will be tagged with the names of both the sponsor and the Hero to whom it is dedicated.

Healing Fields of HonorEach flag represents an individual and tells a story. Flags may be sponsored to honor individuals. The event is the perfect opportunity for all of us to remember and honor those who served to protect our nation and our community. The funds raised will benefit the charitable programs of the Rotary Club of Asheboro & Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce Student Lift Program.  It is an experience hard to describe, but never to be forgotten. We invite all to visit the Asheboro Healing Field® display and walk with us among the posted flags. The display is open to all without charge. Don’t miss it!
