Our expansion is taking shape, and the Orb Gallery & Legacy Wall will be a truly unique feature of our White Horse home. Opportunities remain, with approximately 20 placements available before this permanent landmark is finalized.
These locally crafted, hand-blown glass orbs will be inscribed with personal dedications, creating lasting stepstones for the future. Each orb is being created in partnership with artist Joe Nicholson and the NC Glass Center.
A Permanent Part of Our Foundation
These glass stones are designed to be more than a list of names. They are works of art that capture the spirit of our community:
Artisan Crafted: Each orb features a color scheme designed to complement our new mural.
Built Into Our Walls: Installed directly onto the building’s new exterior, your support becomes a physical part of White Horse history.
A Guided Experience: A detailed donor map will accompany the wall, allowing visitors to recognize the “beacons of light” who helped make this expansion possible.

Each orb may be inscribed with a personal dedication of approximately 24–36 characters, scaled to fit the specific diameter.
