Athletic Fields Fundraising Appeal
As of February 2006 , we have raised over $65,000 in unrestricted
funds, which is a good start. However, we are now asking for
your help in raising the moneys needed as part of our plan;
specifically, please consider making a donation. And
if you would prefer that your donation go toward a specific
item, we’ll insure that it does.
This is a wonderful opportunity for athletic enthusiasts to
help with the improvement and expansion of athletic fields
in the same way that avid readers and community supporters
helped finance the expansion of the Howe Library. The information
that follows offers the estimated costs of the additional items
for which we are fundraising, and a summary of our donor recognition
program.
Because Hanover High athletics shares fields with both the
Town of Norwich and the Town of Hanover, the new and renovated
athletic fields will benefit the recreation programs for children
of all ages, as well as the adults, in our community.
We thank you in advance for considering a donation to help
support the improvement and expansion of athletic fields for
Hanover High.
