Become Part of the Trinity Campus Gift and Naming Opportunity Many decorative benches adorn our campus. These highly-visible benches come in handy for students waiting for rides or anyone just looking for a place to relax. For donors who wish to make a gift to the school, we are offering the opportunity to have an engraved plaque affixed to a bench. The engraved plaque (2”x 9”) provides up to three lines with up to 40 characters per line. The school will work with the donor to create an appropriate inscription. It could be for an individual (e.g. in memory of or in honor of ), a family, group (e.g. Class of 19__) or a business. This naming opportunity is available for $1,500 per bench.
