Miracle Field News


To encourage individual donations the Board has voted to match each member's contribution. Our club is within $1,500 of its original $10,000 goal. That means we, as individuals, only have to come up with $750 to be matched by the Club.

Overall for the project $15,000 additional has been raised. About $35,000 is still needed. 

John Ryor has a list of businesses we are assigned to contact for sponsorships and donations. He has details to help with your solicitation. Ask him how you can help.
