Naming honor for Gardner Center at Lawrence teen facility
The Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence plans to name its new 30,000 square foot teen center “The Don and Beverly Gardner Center for Great Futures” in honor of donors Harry and Cindy Herington who pledged 250000 toward construction. The center at 1520 Haskell Ave will share spaces with the Lawrence College and Career Center and open by August 2017 if fundraising succeeds. The Gardners and Don Gardner have long led community fitness events and run fundraisers for the club.
