Bricks are available for a donation of $100 and blocks for $250. Your donation is tax deductible.
You may put up to 3 lines (14 characters per line) on a brick and up to 6 lines (14 characters per line) on a block. Logos such as a 4-H clover cost an addition $25. Though not required, you are welcome to also submit a story with your brick or block order.
If you have questions, contact: Story County Extension Office 515-337-1601. The Pathway campaign is part of the ongoing effort to grow the Story County 4-H Endowment.
