🏃‍♀️ Giving Tuesday: Help Us Cross the Finish Line! 🏃‍♂️

📢What's new?
👉Several years ago, we started with just $56,000 — and thanks to incredible community support, we’ve now raised $536,675.46 toward building a new track for Stockton/Warren students and our entire community! 🎉

👉After a great meeting with the Stockton School Board, we’re proud to announce that The Warhawk Tracker Backers are working hand-in-hand with the district to make this dream a reality.

👉We’ve received estimates from three contractors and are excited to share that we’re already one-third of the way toward our goal! With continued fundraising, potential grant opportunities, our partnership with the school district, and your support, we’re confident we’ll reach our goal in the coming years.

Your Giving Tuesday donation makes a lasting impact:
💚 For Students>> Safe training and meets
💙 For the Community>> Walking groups, wellness programs, family fun
❤️ For Local Businesses>> Visitors and events that boost our local economy
💛 For the Future>> Modern facilities that attract families and staff

✨ Bonus: Thanks to the new Illinois Gives Tax Credit Act, your donation through the Community Foundation of Jo Daviess County qualifies for a 25% Illinois state income tax credit — a dollar-for-dollar savings!

Update on where we are currently at:

Delta 3 came out last weekend to complete their drone surveying. Once the results of the surveying are complete, we will have a better picture of what is needed for excavation/drainage and can move forward with getting new estimates for those pieces. As of right now, we do know we will need to fundraise a bit more and have been diligently looking for grants we may qualify for.

We would like to thank everyone for your patience while we work to get all the pieces in place. We are excited to have the project completed as soon as possible, but want to make sure everything is done correctly, which is not a speedy process!

Everyone is as anxious as we are to get the ball rolling! Today we are meeting with an Engineer to help us with that process and figure out the next steps to move forward!

Shouting THANK YOU to everyone who supported our sweet corn fundraising efforts!

From picking in the early mornings, heat and afternoons to restock, to selling at the Subway parking lot, it took many volunteers!

If you picked or sold on behalf of the Tracker Backers, we thank you!

To our loyal sweet corn customers, thank you for your support! We sold out daily thanks to you!

Thank you to Rogers Brothers Farms, Adam Kryder and Drew Spidahl for allowing us the opportunity to fundraise!

Until next year,

Tracker Backers
