TR Bricks to honor Chuck Henson
The Southeastern Cave Conservancy, Inc. (SCCi) is honored that the family of Chuck Henson has selected our Tumbling Rock Cave
"Buy a Brick" program to receive donations in his memory.
Each brick is available for a donation of $100 or more. You may
"buy" up to five bricks per form. Each brick will be laser-engraved
with a custom message of your choice, subject to space constraints, and will be permanently installed in a patio area outside the
entrance to the SCCi's Tumbling Rock Cave.
If you don't wish to buy a whole brick, or if you can't decide on an inscription, please enter your donation amount, and just complete
the donor and payment information sections. We will group your donation with other similar donations, and will have these bricks inscribed
with messages as requested by Chuck's family.

- Remembering Chuck Henson
It is with a heavy heart that we must tell our members of the passing of Chuck Henson yesterday afternoon, from complications of a long-term illness.
Chuck was a long-time sustaining member and benefactor of the Southeastern Cave Conservancy (SCCi).He donated to the SCCi both Howards Waterfall Cave,
our first preserve, and Lost Canyon Cave, our newest preserve. Read more...
- A New (and Free!) Way to Help the SCCI Raise Money! One of our members suggested a great fundraising idea that will help the SCCi buy even more caves. The best thing about this idea is that it won't cost you a penny. What's the idea? Get a Kroger's card and use it when you buy gas or groceries. Each time you use your card to buy anything from Kroger or a Kroger affiliated company, 5% of your purchase will be donated to the SCCi. Read more...
