(KNZA)--Fundraising efforts are underway for a new Sabetha High School track and football field improvement project.

Sabetha High School Athletic Director Kaleb Moeller, who is spearheading the project, said the " state-of-the art facility" would benefit not only the student athletes, but the community as well.

The $2.55 million project would utilize private money to redo the aging track and install turf on the football field. Also as part of the project, the field events would be moved to the south end of the football field.

The project would start in the summer of 2025 and take eight weeks to complete. The goal is to have the new facilities ready for use at the beginning of the fall sports season.

Moeller provided a fund-raising update to the Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education last week, saying $606,000 has either been pledged or given to the project to date. He added that they have received $525,000 in match fund from Keim TS and an anonymous donor.

Those interested in supporting the project can donate to the Bluejay Facility Enhancement Fund through the Greater Sabetha Community Foundation. In addition, businesses and families have an opportunity to purchase advertising squares along the sidelines with a donation of $50,000 or more. It can be a one-time donation or a pledge over five years.
