Let's build a youth football pitch together in Medina

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $2,150 for materials.

Medina
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,150. It will serve about 545 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in May and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,150 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $190 • Materials: $1,850 • Permits and inspections: $110 Thanks for being kind about this.
