Sponsors

Thanks for all of your support!

Without the assistance and donations from the following organizations, The Big Hammock project would not have been possible. All of our sponsors have two things in common: other than the fact that they support the arts, they are also local family-owned businesses. Please check out and review our sponsors list and pay a visit to those with links by clicking on their logos.

We especially would like to give thanks to The Awesome Foundation for providing their first grant to us.
We would also like to thank the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy for providing the site for our hammock and for their assistance in making this project happen.

Premiere Sponsors (donations of $5000+):

R&W Enterprises is a family owned and operated distributor of rope and cordage. Started in 1985 as a “one man” operation out of the trunk of a hand-me-down car, they’ve grown into one of the most diverse stocking warehouses in the industry.

R&W Rope is proud to partner with Arteplas Rope to introduce Environmentally friendly rope to North America. Manufactured from 100% recycled fibers made from used P.E.T. bottles, this is truly a “green” product.
R&W Rope, together with rope provider Arteplas, will be donating all of the recycled polypropylene rope that will be used in the project.

Signature Sponsors (donations of $2000-$5000):

V&G Iron Works Inc. is a family business started over 30 years ago by Virgilio Bancarotta. Since then they’ve evolved from a simple railing company into a major miscellaneous metal and structural steel fabricator and erector.

V&G Ironworks will be donating the fabrication of the hammock’s structural frame.
