Dear St. Henry School District Resident:

For the last few tenures the Athletic Boosters have been in the design phase of constructing a new ~19,400 sq ft all-purpose building for athletic, school, and community use. The included pamphlet highlights both the needs and groups we hope to better support with this building. The Boosters have extensively conferred with coaches, school administration/faculty/maintenance, and community groups. We have also visited several other local athletic buildings. The school board and attorney have also reviewed and given approval.

After much diligence, the Booster Club is now in the process of raising donations/pledges. Based on several different quotes, the estimated cost will be ~$1.5M. We hope to finance this substantial project similar to how we have successfully completed other large projects like the softball shelter house and all-weather track. We hope to collect $600k (monetary or otherwise) from local businesses and $400k from the community. The Boosters plan to finance the remainder. The school will not be financing any portion of the building.

We pride ourselves with a fantastic school and community. With the generous support of people like you, we can ensure generations of Redskin students will have fantastic facilities to achieve their best. Please consider and return the lower portion of this letter. Thank you and we look forward to your continued support. For tax purposes, the Booster Club is a 503(c) and donations can be given in both 2016 and 2017.

Sincerely,

Eric Huelskamp
St. Henry Athletic Booster Club, President
