BE A FRIEND OF THE HOWLAND

Dear Friends, We have to help this very important building by repairing, restoring, and rebuilding a very important part of it. The one you walk through every time you come in. It's called a portico, and it is beautiful. Or at least, it was until time, weather and deterioration took their toll. Following a pattern of success from years ago for our roof restoration, a penny drive by Beacon's school children raised thousands of dollars that helped rebuild Howland's slate roofing.

So here's the plan to fix our portico, and perhaps get other needed work done. Our target is $150,000. We already have some support and savings, but we need more. So please: 1. Dig out your containers of coins! You know, the cans, buckets, bags, boxes, or other holders where you empty your pockets of coins. And bring them to the center. 2. Or click here to Donate to our Coin Drive Together, we'll get the job done. We'll fix up this Jewel of Beacon, designed by famed architect Richard Morris Hunt and funded by patron Joseph Howland in 1872. Two year ago, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of this important building, and today we are working to raise $150,000 to preserve it with our Portico Restoration Project. "People Make it Happen"
