If you would like to participate in BARC’s Utilities For A Day Program, they are asking to consider $ 100 to $125 in honor of someone, a special occasion or organization, or as a memorial. Paying the utilities at BARC is the largest expense faced each year, despite continuing efforts to control heating, electricity and water usage. This past year, utilities were just over $30,000 with an additional $10,500 for maintaining the heating system in the historic building. Your sponsorship on the date or dates chosen throughout 2025 will be recognized on BARC’s LED sign, unless requested to be anonymous. Help BARC fill the 2025 Calendar with as many sponsorships January to December.
