Memorial Park Fundraising Initiatives

March 2011:  HBPS was awarded $1,500 in grant money from the Living Well Luzerne County Coalition.  See our NEWS page for more information!

Support the construction of the Huber Breaker Northern Anthracite Coal Field Miner’s Memorial Park! The HBPS is working towards the creation of a community park that will serve to recognize and honor the memory of the thousands that worked at the Huber Breaker and its surrounding collieries. The park will include walking trails through landscaped scenery, benches for relaxing, and educational kiosks with information on the history of the Breaker and the Anthracite Coal Region. The park will be located directly in front of the Huber Breaker site, at 101 South Main St. in Ashley, PA.

Currently, the HBPS has two ways in which you can easily support our efforts:

Buy-A-Brick

A beautiful way to preserve personal and family history while helping to build the walking trails for the park! Single bricks are available for a $2 donation. Share your memories with two lines of engraved text for $50, three lines for $75, or imprint your company or organization logo for $100 per brick. The bricks are ECO-TEK pavers made from abandoned mine drainage produced by R.I. Lampus Company in Springdale, PA. The iron oxide content of the reclaimed mine drainage provides the perfect “brick red” coloring for each of the custom pavers.

The text to be engraved must be less than 12 characters per line, 24 total characters for two lines, and 36 total characters for three lines. Text for names and inscriptions can be emailed to rhughes@epcamr.org. If a logo engraving is preferred, please send a high quality resolution .jpg/.jpeg image to the same email address.
