Ever wonder why the Freedom Park paver initiative is so important? Its a clear and ever-lasting symbol of Rotary's commitment to the San Diego region and a sign of respect for those who served to defend it.
Just steps from the USS Midway Museum on San Diego's historic waterfront, Freedom Park stands as a living tribute to the men and women who have served in America's armed forces. Now, Rotary District 5340 has the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on this landmark through the Freedom Park Legacy Granite Stone Paver Program.
Through a $100,000 naming rights agreement, District 5340 will secure a permanent Rotary roundel embedded within Freedom Park's walkways—a visible symbol of Rotary's commitment to service, community, and the men and women who defend our freedoms. The roundel will stand alongside the Park's other tributes, ensuring Rotary's presence is felt by the thousands of visitors, veterans, and families who walk through Freedom Park each year.
To help fund this initiative, individual and club-sponsored granite pavers are available for purchase, offering Rotarians and community members a personal way to honor a veteran, celebrate a club milestone, or simply show support for those who served.
This is more than a fundraising campaign—it's a chance for Rotary District 5340 to plant a permanent flag of gratitude and service in one of San Diego's most meaningful public spaces.
If you or your club is interested in joining us in this unique opportunity to be part of an ever-lasting tribute honoring our service members, please download the application in the ad placed above under District News.
