Purchase a brick to honor a loved one

As part of its recent expansion, Hollings Cancer Center has completed the Edwin and Barbara Pearlstine Healing Garden. The garden is designed to be a quiet and soothing place where patients and families can relax and reflect, away from the sometimes stressful environment associated with clinical care. Designed by Robert C. Chesnut, the garden will embody the peace and compassion that is so important to patients struggling with this disease.
 
The staff of Hollings Cancer Center is offering visitors and MUSC employees an opportunity to buy a special engraved brick for the walkway of the healing garden.
 
“Purchasing a brick for the walkway is a wonderful way to honor a cancer patient or loved one, a physician or nurse, or even in lieu of gifts for important occasions,” said Andrew S. Kraft, M.D., director, Hollings Cancer Center.
 
Each standard brick is 6 x 9 inches and will have three lines with up to 14 characters per line for engraving where you can place your name, the name of a loved one, or a special remembrance. The cost of each brick is $500 and can be made in payments.
 
“There is no finer or more meaningful gift than one that offers health and hope to others,” Kraft said. “A purchase of a brick will make a measurable difference in more ways and touch more lives than you can imagine.”
 
A brick may be purchased in honor or memory of someone. When filling out the form, attach the name of the person to be notified, including relationship and address (street, city, state and ZIP code).

Paving the Way to a Cure
Please print the name or remembrance exactly as you would like it to appear on the brick. Leave blank boxes to indicate spacing. After you place your order, you will receive a confirmation letter.
 
Print clearly in the blocks below. Each standard brick is 6" x 9" with three lines and maximum of 14 characters per line. To order more bricks, make additional copies of this form or call 792-1140. Mail form and payment to MUSC Foundation—HCC, 86 Jonathan Lucas St, Charleston, SC 29425.
