The City of Derby and its Greenway Committee will be restoring the National Humane Alliance Fountain and constructing a brick plaza around the fountain as a “Gateway” entrance to the very successful Derby Greenway. The Fountain has been a part of Derby history for more than a century, and the city is offering everyone an opportunity to not only help restore the fountain, but also to create a personal legacy that will add to the allure of the Fountain and Greenway for generations to come. You have the opportunity to purchase a brick(s) that will be engraved to commemorate a personal message. Bricks are a great way to memorialize a loved one, honor a recent achievement, celebrate a friend or relative, or leave a personal observation or reflection. The bricks make great gifts!

This project which began with the relocation of the Fountain to the Greenway in June, 2006 is scheduled for completion in time for Memorial Day, 2007. The original lion’s heads spigots are being recast in South Dakota and will be mounted on the Fountain. The surrounding brick plaza will include benches and trees. See the City website for sponsorship opportunities.

The bricks are being sold in either a 4”x8” size or 8”x8”. The smaller brick can include up to three lines of text with 18 characters per line. The larger brick can accommodate up to six lines of text with 18 characters per line. The smaller bricks will cost $50 and the larger ones will be $100. Don’t wait to place your order as the number of bricks on the plaza is limited. Logos: If you would like to add a custom logo to your brick, please include an additional $50 set-up fee plus and $8.00 engraving fee. Logos should be in black and white and in a high resolution picture file.
