Dear Friends of Hanson Park Conservancy\,
\nPlease h
elp HPC honor those we’ve lost to COVID-19 by contributing to a Memorial B
ench.
\nCOVID-19 has taken the lives of over 150 residents of Cranfor
d. HPC would like to honor those lives by placing a Memorial Bench next to
the Butterfly Garden –– a beautiful and serene place for remembrance and
reflection.
All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to this memorial. Please contribute any dollar amount that you wish towards t his memorial\, which remembers our fellow residents. The bench is expected to be installed later this year and will include a plaque in tribute to t hose we’ve lost.
\nThe unique Hanson Park benches are hand-made by a
craftsman in upstate New York. They were chosen as part of the original d
esign which envisioned a passive environmentally sensitive park along the
Rahway River.
\nTax-exempt contributions can be made by mailing a che
ck directly to HPC PO Box 542\, Cranford\, NJ 07016\, visiting our website
at www.hansonparkconservancy.com\, or t
hrough our Facebook page.
We’d like to thank the entire community
of Cranford for always supporting HPC.
\nFeel free to visit the park
at 38 Springfield Avenue\, Cranford\, NJ. Details on the bench installatio
n will be provided at a later date.
