Greater Impact Phase 3 - On track for September + One final push | Email from Feb 17, 2026
We are thrilled to share an exciting update on Greater Impact Phase 3 — our new on-campus athletics complex is coming to life!
Construction is moving forward smoothly, and we remain on track to have the fields ready for our student-athletes this September. Thanks to the incredible generosity of so many in our community this vision is becoming a reality. We are deeply grateful for your help.
To make these fields truly “game-ready” and enhance the experience for years to come, we’re now working to raise an additional $1.3 million. These final enhancements will elevate every practice, game, and event for our teams and fans:
-
Stadium lighting (for evening games and events)
-
Bleachers with press boxes
-
Team dugouts
-
Scoreboards
-
Goals and goalposts
-
Pitcher’s mounds and bullpen mounds
A PDF flyer with more details on these items and their approximate costs is attached.
Check out this quick video update from the site (filmed in February 2026) showing the progress of the project:
