A ground-breaking ceremony took place Thursday, Feb. 5, for the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach's multi-sports field complex being built adjacent to the Carver Center, in Bunnell.
Rotary Club of Flagler Beach is working closely with the city of Bunnell, the George Washington Carver Foundation and additional community partners to construct the fields.
The project is scheduled for completion in the spring.
"This is not just a project about sports fields," said Roseanne Stocker, service and grant committee chairperson for Rotary Club of Flagler Beach. "This is about changing lives, providing positive influences and teaching about leadership and character through organized sports for children in the community.”
The Rotary Sports Field Project is a $52,600 project funded by a $24,600 grant from Rotary District 6970 and Rotary International. The remaining $32,000 is being raised from donations from local community partners, including Rotary Club of Palm Coast and Rotary Club of Flagler County. Partnerships are still being sought from local businesses and organizations that wish to help.
The goal of this project is to bring organized sports leagues to the neighborhood surrounding the Carver Center. Funds are being raised to provide scholarships for children in need who wish to participate.
