Our Raise the Roof Campaign is nearly at the goal line. The main projects to be completed are the restrooms and ADA accessibility ramps and features.
When we first announced the size and scope of the project in 2017, several Pirates weren’t sure if there would be enough support for such a large project, so they wanted to wait and see if a roof on the grandstands, was, in fact, a possibility. Well, here it is. Just waiting for the final touches.

Our April fundraising push has raised over $17,000 so far. We estimate that we need another $65,000 to complete the project. (Don’t forget about our recognition plaques and Class Challenge)
