Eli Kane Tribute Bench in Nichols Arboretum

Help us memorialize Eli at the University of Michigan with a bench in his honor. We could think of no better place for the bench than the arboretum, where Eli used to run, play soccer, and seek peace amidst the busy day-to-day of a college student.

This bench will be a place for those who knew Eli to feel his love and cherish the memories we had with him, as well as a place for those who did not know him to relax and soak up the beauty of life. Just like Eli did.

Our goal of $7,500 is for the bench and a plaque, both of which will be in the arb for 8 years.
