Dakota Athletic Boosters needs your help

To Whom It May Concern:

This is being written on behalf of the Dakota Athletic Boosters, an organization that promotes all athletic teams in the Dakota School District.  It is estimated that 50% of our students participate in athletics.  The Boosters feel that participating in any type of athletic venue should be supported by a safe, sanctioned place to exercise, socialize and develop skills that will be useful throughout their lives.  Our organization is dedicated to the process of making that happen, but we need your help.

Your donation will bring us closer of our goal of $100,000 to complete our outdoor sports facilities.  The improvements began in 2007 when new softball and baseball diamonds were excavated.  A new football field was then completed in 2009.  Since then, efforts have been made to raise funds for our all-weather track.  This fall we were able to blacktop an eight lane track, but we need to add the field event areas, apply the rubberized surface, add lights to the baseball diamond, and various other items.  The community at large benefits from the use of these facilities by promoting healthy lifestyles.  We are happy to acknowledge your tax deductible donation on our website and at our numerous events, unless you prefer otherwise.

The Boosters would like to thank you for considering a donation to raise funds for these improvements.  Please attend the meeting on Monday, December 3 in the Dakota High School library at 7 PM. Information will be presented and viewed to answer questions about our progress and future plans.  If you are unable to attend, a PowerPoint presentation can be sent to you by emailing jryan@dakota201.com or dgoeke@dakota201.com.
 Tax deductible donations can be made out to the Dakota Athletic Boosters and mailed to the address above.  No contribution is too small; any and all are appreciated.  We hope you can attend and see for yourself how the improvements have made a difference in our students’ lives as well as for future generations.  We are proud of our accomplishments and hope you will be too.  In the meantime feel free to call Dave Goeke or me at the numbers below.
