Be a Cheerleader! Sponsorship

In 2010, Good Shepherd Center celebrates its 40th anniversary in its present location in Baltimore County. To celebrate, the gymnasium at Good Shepherd Center was closed for major renovations for more than two months.  These renovations included painting inspiring murals on the walls of our gym!  One of the walls of the gym depicts the skyline of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, while others are painted with grandstands of cheering fans.  Painted banners on the walls include the names of the eight dormitory Units at the Center as well as the six pillars of character used in the national Character Counts program.  There are almost 2000 figures painted in the stands and the muralists included little surprises such as depictions of Harry Potter, “Waldo,” President Clinton’s cat, and President Bush’s dog.  Towards the end of the project, someone commented to the artists that the mural contained “everything but the kitchen sink,” to which they responded by climbing up to a remote corner and adding one. 

In order to celebrate the renovation of our gym and support the programming at Good Shepherd Center, the Center is introducing the Be A Cheerleader! Sponsorship Program, offering you the unique opportunity to sponsor one of the cheering figures on our gym wall. By participating in Good Shepherd Center’s Be A Cheerleader! Sponsorship Program, you will have your name (or company name) painted on a cheering figure in the residential unit of your choice. With your donation, you will receive the following exciting benefits:

  • Your name (or company name) will be painted on a Good Shepherd Center ID Badge that will be painted on one of the cheering figures.  From then on, you will be on our team, supporting and cheering our students on!
  • You will be sent a thank you card by the students on the dormitory unit where your figure is located.  Good Shepherd Center has eight residential units:  Hunter, Thomas, Shepherd, MacTavish, Foley, Pelletier, Neuville and Welbers. 
  • You will receive a commemorative color photo of your figure with its ID Badge displaying your name (or company name).
  • You will be treated to a behind the scenes tour of the gym to visit your Cheerleader!
