   Hackensack Lakes Area Community Foundation has been raising money for almost 2 years with the “Hundreds for Hack”  Buy a Brick program.  The time is now running out to purchase a brick for this program.  We had to extend the campaign trying to get as many sold as possible, but it’s now time to bring it to fruition.  The final day to order your brick(s) is May 15.  We have 2 sizes of bricks available , 4 x 8 inches, &  8 x 8 inches.  The 4 X 8 inch Bricks give you 3 lines of 18 characters per line, and the 8 x 8 inch bricks give you 6 lines of 18 characters per line.  You can also buy more bricks to have a larger message, i.e. purchasing 4 of the 8 X 8 Bricks would give you a 16 x 16 inch square.

   You can add an available  graphic image if you choose.  Graphics include Animals, Military, Nature, Spiritual, Sports, States, etc.  All the information about Ordering and choosing what you want on your brick is available on www.thatsmybrick.com/hlacf.  You can see samples of the bricks and logos available on that website.

We will be installing the bricks around the flagpole next to the Chamber of Commerce building in Hackensack in June and having the Dedication Ceremony during Sweetheart Days at 5:15 p.m. on July 9, just before the Pet Parade.

   As a reminder, the Hackensack Lakes Area Community Foundation serves the nine townships within 10 miles of Hackensack.  In the five years since we started, we’ve been able to give out over $30,000 in 25 grants to 15 Non-profits. This includes the nine non-profits we just issued grants to of over $5,000 in our latest grant round. Our primary objective has been to raise money for our Endowment Fund so that the interest can be granted out to non-profits that support the cities of Hackensack and Backus and the surrounding communities.
