Olivewood Cemetery Bench Service Project

Donation protected
My name is Patrick and I am working on a service project in my community. See description below...

Please consider a donation to my community service project supporting the historic Olivewood Cemetery in Houston, TX. - the city’s first incorporated African American cemetery. Working with St. Anne’s Catholic Church and The Descendants of Olivewood Organization, my project is to install much needed seating areas at a few locations in the cemetery. Custom tiled concrete benches will be installed with ‘Olivewood’ tiled on the surface of each bench. The tiles will resemble the Houston blue and white tile street markers and will be spelled backwards to follow some African burial practices so that the residents of the cemetery can know their burial place. I am trying to raise $2500 for my project with hopes to install seating by the end of Summer 2024. All donations will go to The Descendants of Olivewood. Thank you for considering helping me with my project.
