You can honor special friends or family members, celebrate graduations or weddings or commemorate holidays by purchasing a Paving the Path brick in either of two sizes: 5 ½ “x 8” for $250 or 8” x 11” for $750. If the donor wishes, a letter will be sent to the honoree or honoree’s family indicating that a brick has been purchased in their honor.
