Memo:  Scoreboard for Tibbetts Field

With Ross Hoover, Scoutmaster Jim Feltis and Mayor Fred Butler

"My name is Jake Hoopes and I’m an 8^th grader at Pacific Cascade Middle School.

Last Spring when I was playing baseball, I got an idea for my Eagle Scout project when I was at Tibbetts Field.  I noticed there was no scoreboard so I decided to raise money for the City of Issaquah to buy a scoreboard for the field. 

In order to raise over $4000, I had to approach different groups for donations.  Especially my grandpa, who contributed to all of my fundraisers.  Besides him, there were 167 who donated.

I did 3 main fundraisers.  

With Zach and Kelly Zarling

First, my baseball team helped me sell car wash tickets.

Second, In October I made pizza dough and sold it to my church family, the Highlands ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and some neighbors.

Lastly, I finished off my fundraising with selling first aid kits to the Issaquah Little League families.

I am very happy I was able to raise enough money and I’m very thankful for the many generous people who helped.  Thank you also to Mr. Ross Hoover at the City of Issaquah who helped me along the way."

 

WOO HOO!!!!!
