Q. How did the Revere stadium project come about?
A. This project is a response to the growing need for an all weather stadium surface that improves and expands track facilities for athletic and musical activities. This significantly improve the usability for all of our teams and musical performers and builds on our community at Revere.
Q. Who is leading this effort?
A. A committee of volunteers has been formed that is comprised of members of the Revere Athletic Boosters and the Revere Band Boosters, as well as other interested parties from the community. The overarching organization is the non-profit Revere All Sports Boosters, a non profit IRS approved 501 c3 organization.
Q. Has the Board of Education and the schools staff endorsed this project?
A. Absolutely. The Board of Education approved a preliminary study that helped kick-off the project. The Superintendent, Treasurer/CFO, Business Manager, and Athletic Director, all critical members of the committee, have helped lead the effort to determine the requirements of the stadium to ensure that all sports and other activities are included in the process.
Q. Are there any limitations on how often the field can be used?
A. No, all turf companies guarantee their product for 8 years regardless of usage. This is one of the great advantages of synthetic turf. It is anticipated that the field can be used nearly year round, as many hours of the day
as needed.
Q. Who will get to use the field and who will manage the priorities?
A. T he school administration will manage the field and set the priorities. In general high school activities take precedence, whether it is for athletic or musical events or practices. However, given the capability to use the field throughout the day and into the evening with lights, youth sports and other community activities will have access to the field, much like they currently have for other school facilities.
Q. What is the financial goal of the project?
A. A goal of $650,000.00 dollars has been set for community fund raising.
Q. Why isn’t the school district proposing a tax levy for the project?
A. The goal of this fund raising effort is to bring needed improvements to the district and community without additional tax dollars. This allows the district to leverage other assets to fund its portion of the project.
Q. Can I place my donation in my will or as part of a planned estate giving gift?
A. For this specific project, the money is needed in a short period of time and therefore an estate gift is not applicable.
Q. How much would I have to donate to have a field/portion of a field named after me or someone I wish to name it after?
A. T he School Board has the final say on naming rights, but it is expected that $250,000 would be sufficient to award naming rights.
Q. Who do I make my check out to and where do I send it?
A. Make checks payable to Revere All Sports Boosters/Turf Initiative
P.O. Box 244, Bath, Ohio 44210-0244
Q. Can I make my gift in memory or honor of someone?
A. Yes! We’d be happy to acknowledge your gift as an honorary or memorial contribution, and send a notification to the person(s) to whom you are honoring.
