The earthquake that struck the D.C. region on August 23, 2011 damaged two of the city’s most iconic structures—the Washington Monument and the National Cathedral. But while the monument has received a $7.5 million donation from a local philanthropist to help cover the costs of its repairs, the National Cathedral has struggled to similarly collect money to fix broken pinnacles, flying buttresses and gargoyles.

Leading into the first anniversary of the earthquake, the National Cathedral has launched a $100,000 fundraising drive to help cover the costs of repairing the building and fund programming. The $100,000 goal is part of the broader “Restore the Glory” campaign, which seeks to raise money for repairs, which are expected to exceed $20 million.

Unlike the Washington Monument—which will likely be closed throughout the next year—the cathedral has restarted its famed gargoyle tours and reopened its central tower to visitors in March.
