Gift BricksThe new Spinal Cord Injury/Disease Center has been designed and decorated to provide a very healing environment. To compliment this atmosphere there are large sections of wall space located near the two outside entrances dedicated to the memory of those veterans who are important to us. Each veteran is to be remembered with a personalized decorative tile engraved with the name and pertinent information concerning the individual as provided by the donor. The donor will also determine the size of the commemorative tile. Options are available for inclusion of logos and insignias as the size and design of the tiles permit. Sponsor organizations are encouraged to participate by purchasing a commemorative tile.
The Gift Brick® program has been underway since January and will continue through the end of the year. Response to date has been slower than desired due in part to the low key approach to promoting the commemorative tiles. This is a wonderful opportunity to give those special veterans a well deserved, lasting memorial and, at the same time, support the outstanding spinal cord program provided by the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center.
