C-Hill Flag Retirement Time-Lapse
Recent & Upcoming Events
Flag Retirement Ceremony and Volunteer Work Day: Saturday 10/4 at 10am
On Saturday October 4th, over 80 volunteers joined us for a Flag Retirement Ceremony and volunteer work day.
We ascended the hill on foot and by vehicle to dismantle the existing flag, and in fewer than 5 hours (!!) our community's beloved flag was dismantled.Completion of repairs and reconstruction will take place over the Winter and Spring 2026. Sign-up to receive project updates and to get involved with repairing the structure and replacing the panels!
History
The C-Hill Flag Foundation began the third week of September 2001, soon after the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Many local businesses donated nearly $10,000 in construction materials, supplies and food for more than 200 volunteers.The work was completed and our flag was dedicated on October 21, 2001. A ceremony was held on the hill at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains high above Carson City.
On December 14, 2002, Mother Nature struck our flag with a winter storm and winds up to 100 mph, tearing several sections of the flag apart and causing damage to the support frame. By 5:00 p.m., our flag was destroyed.Our flag was re-built in 2003, and since then, has stood as a symbol of Carson City's patriotism, ability to weather any storm, and a reminder that when we come together, there is nothing our community cannot achieve.The C-Hill Flag has been seen throughout Eagle Valley and by passing airplanes since 2003.On October 4, 2025, over 80 volunteers ascended the hill on foot and by vehicle to disassemble the existing flag and prepare it for repairs. If you're like to help, learn more here.
Fundraising
The current estimated cost to repair flag's structure and replace the existing weathered panels is $35,000 - $40,000. We need the community's support to raise these funds.How can you help?
