Athletic Boosters:

Our student-athletes pour their hearts and souls into representing Enloe with pride, dedication, and sportsmanship. They deserve the best possible playing fields to hone their skills and compete at their highest level.

Unfortunately, our fields are showing their age. Years of use and weather have taken their toll, resulting in uneven surfaces, wear and tear, and safety concerns. It's time to level the playing field—literally!

We're launching "Leveling the Playing Field," an emergency fundraising campaign to raise money for essential field repair and maintenance. Specifically, we need to address:

• Reseeding and Top Dressing: To restore healthy, resilient turf.

• Leveling and Filling Worn Spots: Eliminating dangerous dips and uneven areas.

• Removing Rocks and Debris: Ensuring a safe and clean playing surface.

Our Goal: $60,000 in the next 2 months!

This is a BIG ask, but it's achievable with your help. With approximately 600 student-athletes at Enloe, our target is to raise $100 per athlete. This collective effort will make a significant impact on the quality of our sports facilities.

 

How You Can Help:

• Donate Today: Every contribution, large or small, brings us closer to our goal. Click HERE to make your secure online donation.

• Spread the Word: Share this campaign with friends, family, and fellow Enloe supporters. Use the hashtag #LevelingThePlayingField on social media.

• Corporate Matching: Check if your employer offers matching gift programs to double your impact!

Every dollar counts! Please consider making a donation today and help us reach our goal of $60,000.
