YMCA to honor veterans with brick purchases

As a salute to our Huntington County veterans and active-duty service men and women, Parkview Huntington Family YMCA is creating a landscaping brick and concrete feature that will surround the American flagpole located in the circle drive at the Y.

The completed brick feature will be showcased and unveiled in a ceremony at the annual July 4th celebration held on location at the Y. The sale of personalized bricks also further continues the Y efforts to provide scholarships for memberships and programming to YMCA patrons who need financial assistance.

Interested individuals may order 4”x 8” bricks with character personalization and/or graphic personalization. Personalized 8”x 8” corporate bricks may also be purchased by interested businesses. The three-color options available in each size brick include lighthouse gray, nutmeg or regimental red which are each at different price points, beginning as low as $100. Bricks may be purchased in honor or memory of veterans or those in active military service.

Brick orders are completed through “That’s My Brick” and their website automatically stores the order for our specific YMCA project. Orders are being taken now through May 15, so the project will be complete by the July 4th celebration. To order, follow the step-by-step process online. When completing the online order be sure you are happy with the brick design as the image on your computer will look very similar to the final product. When completing the online order, payments may be made with a major credit card. To place an order or learn more about the bricks and how they can be personalized, go online here.

If you are unable to place an order online, the YMCA has paper forms available for completion and can accept payment of cash, check, money order or credit card at the YMCA front desk. Parkview Huntington Family YMCA is located at 1160 W 500 N, Huntington. For questions, contact Terri Bartrom Brumbaugh at teresa.bartrom@huntingtony.org.

We hope to see you and your featured brick at the July 4th celebration!
