Board hears update on $1 million fundraising push to add turf and lights at district field
Summary
Board members were told a 13-member campaign cabinet has begun donor outreach with an illustrative goal of raising about $1 million to pay first for turf and lights and later for a grandstand; construction would proceed in phases as funds become available.
District staff updated the board that a 13-member fundraising committee has begun outreach to potential major donors to support upgrades to the district athletic field, with a public fundraising phase planned after an initial major-donor push.
The presenter said the campaign—abinet has been trained to identify and cultivate significant donors and that early work is focused on securing large commitments in order to pay quickly for turf and field lights; the grandstand would follow when additional funds are committed.
Staff described a phased implementation plan: turf and lights installed as soon as funds are available, with the grandstand added after further fundraising. No board action was taken; staff said they would continue committee outreach and report progress to the board.
