The bricks are Umbriano blocks from Unilock, and come in two sizes: an 8" x 8" square (cost: $125) and an 8" x 16" rectangle (cost: $500). Each can be engraved with characters and icons (icon cost: $25 each). Icons use 3 spaces on 2 lines of text (6 spaces in total), so purchasers requesting icons should make allowances for this space in the engraving. Click here for icon choices.    

Orders must be placed by Friday, May 1st through Bidding for Good. If there are more orders than available bricks, orders will be accepted in the order in which they were received.   

The 8x8 brick can be engraved with 6 lines of up to 13 characters each.  The 8x16 brick can be engraved with 6 lines of up to 26 characters each. Spaces between words and names count as characters.  Each brick can be engraved with up to 3 icons, space permitting.  When ordering, please provide your engraving instructions in the comment box on Bidding for Good. 

For simplicity of processing orders and credit cards, we are using the ticket function on Bidding for Good to sell bricks and icons.  If the Bidding for Good order page is confusing, please contact Dani Cupps at 312-925-6605.   
 
Proceeds from this program will go to FOL to fund priorities of the Principal, as outlined in the school budget adopted by the LSC. Over the last several years, the majority of funds have been spent to reduce class size, maintain experienced teachers, expand Lincoln's music and art programs, better integrate technology into the classrooms and fund other programs which close the gap between public funding and the high cost of a quality education.
