Feb

2010

Ceramica, Inc. in partnership with Batchelder & Collins in Norfolk, VA, have provided brick pavers for an engraved brick capital fundraising event. The Norfolk Academy in Norfolk, VA is on the tail end of a $40 million fundraising campaign to ensure the success of the academy in its fourth century. A portion of the fundraising campaign centered around the sale of engraved brick pavers. The initial engraved brick order consisted of 161 Belcrest 4x8 engraved bricks with the donors personalized message.

The current campaign, the Campaign for the Fourth Century, was launched in 2004. This ambitious $40 million campaign included the building of the John H. Tucker Jr Arts Center, an Athletic Pavilion and Fitness Center, as well as provided a new campus facade. This campaign also aims to significantly increase the School's endowment.

We at Ceramica, Inc. are proud and honored to have helped in this worthy fundraiser. We want to congratulate all of the donors and everyone else who made this project possible and send out a special thank you on behalf of all the wonderful alumni of Norfolk Academy who participated in this great capital campaign.
