Naming Opportunities

Named gifts are a meaningful way to honor or recognize loved ones, living or deceased, and perpetuate the name of an individual, a family, a business or an organization for many years to come. Opportunities for naming in and around the new Elyria High School facility abound. Knowing that your generous support will directly benefit the lives of Elyria’s youth and the community for years to come is worthy of your name. 
 
All gifts of $25,000 and above will receive personalized plaques on the named area and will be acknowledged on the New Frontier Donor Wall to be located in the lobby of the Elyria Performing Arts Center portion of the new building. Gifts of $1,000 to $24,999 will also be recognized on the New Frontier Donor Wall.
