Community foundation outlines Phase 2 fundraising for baseball and softball complex
Summary
The New Buffalo Community Education Foundation described Phase 2, focusing on developing the area around the baseball/softball complex, donor recognition opportunities, and a potential nonprofit-hosted summer college team to reinvest proceeds into the district.
Brian Williams, secretary of the New Buffalo Community Education Foundation, and Vice President Tom Rowland told the board that Phase 2 of the baseball/softball project will include developing the surrounding area of the complex and establishing permanent recognition for donors and local business sponsors.
They said one idea under consideration is hosting a summer college baseball team managed through a nonprofit structure so profits could be reinvested into district programs and facilities. The presentation emphasized fundraising recognition opportunities for individual donors and businesses.
Operations and construction details were discussed separately by district staff: Superintendent Bowen and Director of Operations Mark German reported progress on field construction and related infrastructure (see separate timeline entries). The foundation's presentation did not include specific fundraising targets in the public segment recorded in the transcript.
