The current bleachers were constructed of wood and installed in the 1970s; because of this, they are not accessible to all attendees. Over the years, we have done our best to keep up the bleachers by replacing boards and steps as school funds allow. The current press box needs a new roof and stairs and needs to be re-sided. With a limited school budget, district athletics funding competes with dollars needed to educate students. Knowing this, we have budgeted $165,000 in our capital plan for this project. With the cost of inflation over the last year, the project to replace the bleachers, make them accessible to all attendees and upgrade the Press Box is estimated to be $231,200. Leaving a deficit of $66,200.

As a district, we have partnered with community members and local businesses to raise the additional funds needed for the project. Our athletes, students, coaches, and community will benefit from these upgrades. The School Board has approved this fundraiser campaign.

To allow all businesses, alumni, current students/families, and community members to further support our Florence County students and the community, we are offering a variety of opportunities to donate.
