It was completed the following year and donated to Mayfield at Mayfest in 1988 by the artists and the PAAC. The base was donated by Bob Robbins of Bedford Limestone Suppliers of Bedford, Indiana. Rodgers Monument of Mayfield provided and installed the commemorative plaque. Commemorative plaque in front of sculpture reads: "OFFERINGS"/DEDICATED TO THE CITY OF/MAYFIELD BY THE PURCHASE/AREA ARTS COUNCIL IN/REMEMBRANCE OF ALL/MISSING CHILDREN.
