Two enterprising teens are raising funds for our next President by building and selling benches. Harry and Emma will be off to college in the fall, but they’re keeping busy this summer by filling orders for the Barack benches.

The benches are constructed in Harry’s Cobble Hill basment and cost $40. Obama’s campaign gets $15 from the sale and the rest goes into material costs.

They are made out of Douglas Fir wood. The standard size is 48 inches long, and 18 inches tall and comes in an earthy pistachio green color. They are waterproofed for outdoor use. Custom bench orders can be placed for an additional $15 and the teens are also taking orders for other custom carpentry projects such as trash bin enclosures, picnic tables and sheds.

Harry and Emma offer deliveries for a small fee, but pick ups are greatly appreciated.

Benches for Barack has already raised $700 for the Obama campaign in just 2 weeks. You know what I was doing when I was 18? I can’t even remember, but I’m sure it involved sitting on my ass complaining about Reagan.

Go to 232 Clinton St. (between Pacific and Amity) if you would like to check out the benches. You can reach Harry at 917-699-1754 or Emma at 201-709-5054.
