Spartan Square Brick Campaign heats up

The Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce has enlisted the help of the current Leadership Mountain Brook class to promote the Spartan Square Brick Campaign. This class, which is composed of juniors and seniors at Mountain Brook High School, is dedicated to improving the city, and often participates in community projects. 

Currently, the juniors are pitted against the upperclassmen in a competition to see which campaign will be the most effective in selling bricks for Spartan Square. 

After the first installation of bricks late this summer, there are still 1,000 spots available for purchase. With the holiday season, everyone is in need of a meaningful gift. Why not consider purchasing a brick in Spartan Square? Not only will it provide funding for future community improvement projects, but it will also make your mark in the rich history of Mountain Brook. 

Established by the original Leadership class of 2010-2011, this campaign was designed to raise funds for annual LMB class projects. In the aftermath of the April 27, 2011 tornados, the City of Mountain Brook decided to establish “Spartans Helping Spartans” in an effort to raise money for the Pleasant Grove community, whose mascot is also the Spartans. In total, the city donated $15,000 to help offset the costs of rebuilding the damaged areas. 

The deadline for brick orders is Jan. 31, 2014. To contact our group, please email us at spartansquare@welcometomountainbrook.com.
