Osmundson Manufacturing became the latest in a long line of corporate and business interests to make a generous contribution to the continuing improvements being made at Dewey Field when Jim Tibbles and Heather Bruce recently presented a $5,000 gift to PHS Principal Dan Marburger.[wpedon id=”85410″ align=”left”]
Large donors like Osmundson, who make contributions of at least $5,000, are designated as Finish Line Sponsors.
Gifts of $25,000 secure an End Zone Legacy while offerings of $10,000 qualify as Golden Goal Sponsors. Those contributing $1,000 secure Yard Line Sponsor status.
The quest to reach 1,000 Bluejays continues, PCSD Superintendent Clark Wicks recently said. To join the 1,000 Bluejay group, contributors pledge $250, which amounts to $21 monthly or 68 cents daily. Those who become one of the 1,000 Bluejays will receive a brick on the new Bluejay Way, Wicks said.
All donors will receive special recognition on the Bluejay Donor Wall.
Despite recent wet weather, construction continues at a steady pace on the first of four phases to the project. A new entry way, concession stand, ticket booths, storage area and restrooms are currently under construction.
New handicap-accessible bleachers on the north side — which will become the home side — have been placed, with a new press box ready for final installation[wpedon id=”85410″ align=”left”]
All phase-one work will be completed in time for Perry’s football home opener, scheduled for Friday, Aug. 24, when the Bluejays will entertain Greene County in the 87th playing of the Cowbell Game.
Contributions to the Dewey Field Project can be mailed to the Perry Community School District, P.O. Box 69, Perry, IA 50220-0069.
