| Abstract/Contents: | Details the process of renovating the soccer field at Faith Christian Academy in Sellersville, Pennsylvania. States that "the soccer field was...not up to par and it was not anywhere near the top of the priority list in [the 2006] budget." Mentions efforts by the school's Alumni Association to raise funds for the renovation. States that the "primary concern was the drainage system. The original field had been built some 25 years earlier with little attention to drainage." Describes the process of installing the drainage system and states that "following the installation of the sub-surface drainage system the field was regraded and a layer of field mix was added. Sodding occurred in late June [2006]." Lists "some advantages" to the fundraising approach, including "it has heightened awarness of and support for the Faith Christian Academy soccer program"; "the field has attained a degree of personality and uniqueness it never would have had under a conventional budget/engineer/contractor approach"; and "valuable relationships were established that will be beneficial for future business dealings." |
