The Central Park Conservancy's popular Adopt-A-Bench program acknowledges your $7,500 contribution by allowing you to place a personalized plaque on the bench of your choice in the Park. It is a wonderful way to honor or memorialize someone, or a unique gift for a special occasion such as a wedding, graduation, or birthday. All contributions to this program are 100% tax-deductible and go into an endowment that provides for the care and maintenance of Central Park's 9,000 benches.
