Lebanon boosters report $140,000 raised toward indoor training facility; $60,000 more needed
Summary
Chris Flag told the board the boosters raised $140,000 toward a $200,000 indoor year‑round training facility at the recent gala and remain confident they can meet the goal before May 1 through canvassing and business outreach.
Chris Flag, president of the Lebanon Athletic Boosters, reported to the board on March 23 that the organization raised $140,000 toward a $200,000 goal for a planned indoor year‑round training facility (DPC). The gala and associated silent auctions contributed the bulk of the funds, and Flag said boosters expect to canvass local businesses and families to raise the remaining roughly $60,000.
"We feel the goal to install this summer is still within reach," Flag said, noting the boosters had not yet canvassed many local businesses and that the district provided space for the gala. He also acknowledged the work of gala organizers and volunteers and highlighted an "impact award" presented at the event.
Flag gave a brief accounting: $20,000 raised in direct donations during the gala, $20,000 from the boosters’ silent auction and an additional $8,000 raised by sports teams in their portion of the auction. He asked for continued district support while the boosters pursue remaining funds and local canvassing.
The board thanked the boosters for their leadership; no board action was required during the report.
