District and foundation report: Titan stadium soft opening, fundraising continues
Summary
District staff and foundation representatives reported a successful soft opening baseball game at the new Titan Stadium, ongoing fundraising events and $13,000 in recent revenue from a March fundraiser; foundation plans include pitch tournament and further outreach to sell commemorative bricks.
District and foundation representatives updated the board on recent Titan activity and fundraising tied to the new athletic complex.
Corey Brodersen (presenting on behalf of the foundation) said the stadium hosted a soft opening baseball game that “went off nearly without a hitch” and that the lights and facility drew a positive response from students and attendees. The foundation reported $13,000 raised from a March casino-night fundraiser; details on exact allocation between eGrants and the stadium project were pending as foundation staff finalize disbursement.
Upcoming events: a pitch tournament is scheduled for Sunday at Patty Wieskamp’s event space; the foundation hopes smaller community events will broaden donor engagement. Brodersen said five new commemorative bricks sold in the days after the stadium game and the foundation continues outreach to youth groups (NBA Titans) and other community partners to support future fundraising.
Why it matters: The finished field gives residents a tangible demonstration of the project and supports a new fundraising push for remaining site work (concessions, bleachers, restrooms). Board members asked staff to keep communication frequent as subsequent phases of the athletic complex move forward.
