Sheldon, Iowa — A Trio of donations from local businesses have put the Sheldon Community School-Northwest Iowa Community College Turf Project $30,000 closer to its $1.4 million goal.
Orab AD Eric Maassen has announced $10,000 donations each from Cain-Ellsworth & Company, Perspective Insurance and Randy Kruse Farm Bureau Financial Services in support of the project.
The turf upgrade on the high school football field is a collaborative project between the Sheldon Community Schools, Northwest Iowa Community College and the City of Sheldon. The new playing surface will be used for the Orab football team, soccer program and the marching band. Additionally, Northwest Iowa Community College will be utilizing the grounds when they begin their intercollegiate soccer program, which is slated to begin in Fall 2024.
The goal is to have fundraising completed before December 31, 2021. Groundbreaking for the project is slated to begin next Spring, with use by the Sheldon Community Schools in the Fall of next year.
For more information on the project or to donate, contact Eric Maassen at the Sheldon High School at 712-324-2504 or Kristi Landis at NCC at 800-352-4907 ext. 164.
