CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Northwest Little League players and volunteers held a fundraiser Saturday, July 25 at Rural King on Fort Campbell Blvd. and collected $1,495 in donations for repairs at Stokes Field.
The ballpark was vandalized by burglars four times during the month of June.
Also on Saturday, Linda Singletary donated $4,710 to the GoFundMe account for Stokes Field which is in addition to a $1,000 donation she had made earlier.
A GoFundMe account and private donations from businesses have brought in a little more than half of the $10,000 goal.
The money raised will go toward repairs as well as the installation of security measures to prevent future damage.
Stephanie Volkert, a mother of three children who play little league at Stokes Field, organized Saturday’s fundraiser to give the community another way to donate.
