Community Sponsorship is How We Build the Outdoor Campus

The indoor building is active today. The outdoor campus is next — and it’s being built through local sponsorship, family support, and community partners who want more safe, positive places for people to gather.

  • Materials, construction, lighting, seating, and signage
  • Safety improvements and walkability across the property
  • Recognition opportunities that honor families and local businesses
