Memorial Walk Brick Paver Campaign

Honor a Service Member

The College of Health and Human Performance announces an exciting project to raise funds for ROTC Army and Air Force Scholarships.

Be among the first to purchase a personalized commemorative brick in honor of any veteran service of East Carolina University's faculty, staff, students, or friends. Your engraved brick paver will become part of the Memorial Walk located west of Christenbury Memorial Gymnasium.

Your decorative brick paver will be engraved with your selected name or phrase and will become a lasting tribute, paving the way for generations to come. Each engraved 6 by 9 inches paver can be purchased for $125.*

There are two ways to purchase a brick paver:

Post's Nursery has generously agreed to sponsor this campaign by donating the pavers. Jim Post, owner, operates the business in Rolesville, North Carolina and specializes in landscape design and installation.

* $100 is tax deductible. *$25 covers engraving costs.
