The U.S. Spacewalk of Fame Foundation needs your help to complete a monument dedicated to NASA’s Apollo, space shuttle and International Space Station efforts.

The foundation is holding a silent auction to fund the completion of its Project Apollo Monument, which forms part of a multi-monument effort to honor the space workers and astronauts that participated in NASA’s manned and unmanned spaceflights. The foundation’s Mercury and Gemini monuments have been completed so far at Space View Park in Titusville, Florida. Still incomplete are monuments to NASA’s unmanned, Apollo and space shuttle efforts, as well as the International Space Station program.

To fund the memorial, the foundation has set out a catalog of space memorabilia and space-themed experiences as part of a silent auction hosted by collectSPACE.com, a SPACE.com partner and contributor. But be quick on the click if you’re hoping to bid, the auction ends Thursday, Aug. 30.

If you’re interested and in the Houston area, the foundation is also hosting a benefit at Space Center Houston, where director Jeff Roth will screen his Apollo documentary “The Wonder of it All” on Aug. 30 as well.
