The
Hall of Honor
It's Not Too Late
To Become A Part of Bethel Park History
Orders in Phase II
Are Being Accepted Through March 15, 2008
On Saturday, March 31, 2007, ground
was broken for the Recreation Center addition to the Bethel Park Community
Center, and the Bethel Park Community Foundation proudly
embarked on the Hall of Honor Campaign to raise funds
towards the interior amenities of this new facility. On
Saturday, January 19, 2008, the ribbon was cut and the
new Recreation Center officially became a part of the
Community Center. Our beautiful new addition
boasts a full court plus half court gymnasium, a fitness
room, a classroom and an elevated 1/12th mile walking
track. An outside concession stand is ready to
service the athletic field in the Center's backyard.
There are a total of 8 basketball hoops and the
gymnasium can accommodate three half court size
volleyball courts. The locker room provides a
place for athletes to store their personal belongings
while using the facilities, and bleachers along the
perimeter of the gym floor provide a great spot for fans
to cheer on their favorite teams.
The Hall of Honor campaign continues
to raise funds to provide for the interior amenities
such as the basketball hoops, volleyball standards sets,
lockers, bleachers and more. At the time the ribbon was
cut, we proudly raised $50,000 but our efforts continue.
Phase II of the Hall of Honor program is now underway.
All tiles ordered by March 15th will be displayed in
time for our scheduled Reception for all Hall of Honor
donors on April 12, 2008.
You can become a lasting part of this
effort by purchasing a ceramic tile to be placed on the
Hall of Honor connecting the current building to the new
addition. We are offering you the opportunity to
purchase a 4" x 4" tile for $100 (3 lines) or
an 8" x 8" tile for $500 (5 lines). We
also are offering a Hall of Fame for larger donors.
Please contact us directly for more information on
becoming a member of the Hall of Fame.
