Commemoration rights to eight benches around the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument will soon be available for purchase with a donation of $1,500 each. All donations go to the Fort Greene Park Conservancy, which will use it for everything from kids concerts to clean-up supplies.

Donations grant the installation of “a customized plaque reading your special message or commemoration on one of the available benches.”

Phase 1 of the bench-naming program begins in the fall/September. It is the lowest-cost donation price point that will be available for local park benches.

For more information or to pledge a bench contact Caroline Purdy.
