A foundation in Nebraska is celebrating the arrival of a brand-new advertisement for its worthy cause - a 24-foot sign.

The Fremont Tribune reports that the Hooper Foundation recently built the enormous marquee sign in order to mark the entrance into the community center. The construction of the over-sized sign monument was performed by Fauss Construction and Stork Landscaping, and was also supported financially by the Hooper City Council.

Leaders from the community said that the new signage would help the center promote the positive work it does for citizens.

"This sign will be a community symbol for many years to come," said Steve Navarrette, board president of the Fremont Area Community Foundation, according to the news source. "This project is just one example of the impact that the HACF, through the dedication of its board members and community volunteers, is making in the community since becoming affiliated with the FACF in 2008."

When nonprofit organizations put up signs it can remind people throughout the community to help out. By lending a hand to a neighbor, many find that a sense of self-satisfaction goes along with assisting others.
