Naming rights are available for the following items

  • Outdoor Brick Grill Area - $10,000

    Hannah and Friends would love to have a permanent brick grill area for family gatherings with our program participants and residents.  Your family or company name will be etched into the bricks of the grill area.

    Garden Walkway - $10,000

    A beautiful sign will name the walkway after your family or company right in front of the Eck Rec Center.  The Walkway is located across from Hannah's Garden Walkway and is home to the Grotto of Our Mother Mary.

    Fishing Pier/Pond - $7,500

    We currently have over 500 fishes in the pond.   We hope to create an accessible fishing pier so that Hannah and Friends can incorporate fishing into our programs.  A large sign naming the pond will be highly visible to recognize your donation.

    Flag Pole - $3000

    A flag pole in front of the Eck Rec Center will fly the United States of America flag along with a Hannah and Friends flag below.  Your family or company’s name will be engraved in a large plaque located right next to the flag pole.

    Accessible Sidewalk to the Equine Center - $2000

    Your family or company's name will be engraved in a large brick located right next to the accessible sidewalk. 

    Outdoor Picnic Tables - $1000 (seeking eight)

    The picnic tables are durable and stained for outdoor purposes. The tables would allow for our program participants and residents to have picnics and enjoy lunch and dinner outdoors.  An engraved plaque with your family or company name will be added to the table.
