Y offering additional bricks to salute veterans

The YMCA is again providing an opportunity to salute Huntington County veterans and military in active-duty service. The Y will be adding to the landscaping brick feature, which was installed last summer around the American flag pole located at the Y.

Any new bricks purchased this spring will be added to this feature and dedicated during the annual Fourth of July celebration held on location at the Y. The sale of personalized bricks supports the Y in providing scholarships for memberships and programming to 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 or individuals. 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 and those in active-duty military service.

Brick orders are completed through “That’s My Brick” and their website automatically stores the order for this specific Y project. Orders are being taken now through June 1, so the project will be complete by the Fourth of July celebration. To order, follow the step-by-step process online.

When completing the online order be sure you are satisfied 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 to: thatsmybrick.com/PHFYMCA.

If you are unable to place an order online, the Y has paper forms available for completion, and can accept payment of cash, check, money order or credit card at the front desk. Parkview Huntington Family YMCA is located at 1160 W 500 N, Huntington.
