BUTLER, MO — September 13, 2012 — Today the Butler Bear Backers donated $10,000 to the fundraising efforts for the new track and football field just west of the current Deaton Thomas Field. The money donated is just a start of what is needed to complete the new track and football field. Items that are necessary to complete this track and football field outside of the new stadium bleachers are a new scoreboard, goal posts, play clocks, PA system and field house. With the completion of the stadium bleachers and the installation of a PA system would allow the Butler Bears track team to host meets for the 2013 spring track season. Having the scoreboard, goal posts and play clocks would allow the Butler Bears to host home football games for the 2013 season. The field house would be an investment added in 2014-2015 timeframe. Anyone can make donations towards these efforts at Citizens Bank c/o Butler Bear Backers.
