| Beliefs- Many "dreamers" and community
leaders believe the
Community Dream Project will become a reality. With the help,
support and contributions of our community members we will soon
experience the benefits that a new eastside multi-use activity center
can make to our
citizens. Vision- To
bring
together youth and citizens of the Lansing Eastside
neighborhoods and schools for the benefits of outdoor physical
activity,
community events and competitive athletics staged in a
multi-purpose
stadium within a park setting.
Dream- Working as a unified group, the fruits of our endeavor
will
benefit generations. Contributions made by those who value
the
future
and see promise developed by community pride will provide
countless
opportunities for the eastside community, Eastern High
School, Lansing Catholic High School, City of Lansing, the Eastside
Spartans, Junior Cougars, football, track and field, soccer,
marching
band and community activities. The project will
reach all aspects of the citizen and school population.
Optional use of the property on which the facility will be placed
could
include an exercise trail, a walking trail, a cross county course,
restroom
facilities, age appropriate play areas and other uses currently
being
researched. Resources- The funds needed to
facilitate the project will be raised
through donations, alumni campaigns, student and adult fund
raising events
and community benefactors. It is anticipated the fund raising
event will last
for 18-36 months with the hope of earning 4 million to 4.5 million
dollars. |
