& the Legacy of Patrick Henry's Speech
When you make a tax-deductible gift to the St. John's Church Foundation's Annual Fund, you are making an investment in education. Through our educational programs, the St. John's Church Foundation educates the public about the importance of Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death!" speech, providing them with a deeper understanding of the events that led to the American Revolution and the founding of our nation.
“The 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s speech was a grand slam for America, Virginia, St. John’s, and of course Patrick Henry.”
Did you know that the St. John's Church Foundation's "Give Me History!" program provides a free Liberty or Death reenactment [and SOL-aligned course materials] to over 3,000 4th-grade students at Title-1 schools in the Richmond, VA area each year? Help us give history to even more students.

Testimonials
“I watched the livestream of the 250th anniversary reenactment via VA250.org. It was stunningly good!”
“The livestream of the 250th anniversary reenactment was absolutely fabulous. The actors were so convincing and I was reminded of facts about Virginia history that had been buried in my memory. I told all my pals here in Ireland about the presentation.I was also very impressed at the way the issue of slavery was addressed in a serious way. ”
“Patrick Henry’s speech is such an important piece of history that every American should know about. I support the foundation’s Title 1 program so that more 4th grade students have the opportunity to experience history come to life in the very place where Patrick Henry delivered his famous words in 1775.”
“My husband and I were delighted to support the foundation’s historic preservation campaign that addressed repairs to St. John’s stained glass windows. The before and after images are simply stunning, and we are thrilled that we could help preserve the windows for another 100 years!”
