The campaign has successfully raised $100,000 toward its $200,000 goal, with construction planned for August 2025, contingent on meeting the fundraising target. Executive Director Ryan Harrington emphasized the need for a sustainable upgrade, highlighting that the new lighting will reduce both noise and air pollution while improving the experience for local soccer programs.
