Sandy Hook … The Natural Wonder in our Backyard
If the Sandy Hook Foundation is one of the great organizations you want to include in your gift giving contributions for the holiday Season, take advantage of their innovative program that gives you the chance to have a porch rocking chair dedicated and named in your honor.
#Giving Tuesday is their support address until December 5. By making a donation to the Foundation’s annual appeal, they in turn will put your name in a contest. Every donation during this annual appeal, made between now and 9 a.m. December 5, will be put in a drawing.
The winner will have the next rocking chair on Sandy Hook donated in their name. You get to decide how you would like your name imprinted on their bronze plaque. The plaque is then affixed to the chair.
Once it’s ready, your rocking chair will be placed on a porch inside Gateway National Recreation Area’s Sandy Hook. So all visitors can enjoy your rocking chair for years to come.
The Foundation will announce the winner the afternoon of December 1 and the rocking chair, with your approval, will be ready for comfort the beginning of the Spring season.
This Friday, Dec. 1, from 3:30 to 5 p.m., Sandy Hook Foundation staff will be at the “Photographer’s Request event at the Sandy Hook Lighthouse. Or check out SH merch for great gifts, ask about plans for 2024, and show the Foundation your best shots of the lighthouse.
Sandy Hook is a lot more than just summertime on the beach. Contributions enable the park to provide lots of great programs, as well as tackle challenges and design innovative solutions. Think of all the folks who will get a new look on life sitting in your rocking chair at Spermaceti Life Staving Station or History House
