We are ready to start! We have enough funds raised to break ground and frame the buildling. We still need your help to complete the outside siding and get it under roof.   Anyone looking to obtain naming rights to the buiding should contact Mike (Rider Insurance) at 594-7788.  $50,000 and $25,000 donors also recieve a granite block in the Wall of Fame located at the entrace to the stadium.

(Brick payments must be submitted with form)

TEAM DINNERS

It is traditional to hold a varsity football/cheerleader team dinner the night before a game. The team relies on the generosity of others to make it happen since feeding about 80 people is a pretty big expense!  We are looking for help for each week! If you are interested contact Mike Rider at 594-7788.
