Night Visions Campaign off and running

Coon's Foundation kick starts campaign with generous gift

The Night Visions campaign is officially off the ground and running as the Charger Baseball Program recently received their first gift towards the campaign.  The Coon's Foundation generously stepped up to the plate and made a gift of $25,000 to get things rolling.

The purpose of the Night Visions campaign is to raise enough funds to install lights at Milledge Field - longtime home of the Chargers.

Currently, Chariton is one of only two known school districts without lights on their high school baseball field. The monetary goal for the campaign is $180,000, which is the original bid from Musco Lighting, the premier sports lighting company in the world.

There are a few options that the program is looking into that may reduce these costs and Musco also mentioned that if the lights were installed by the 2014 season they would most likely be able to drop the bid closer to the $150,000 range.

The Campaign has recently received approval to designate giving "levels" for recognition of donors to the campaign.  These "giving levels" have been approved per Chariton Athletic Director Tim Milledge with the first level for recognition starting at $100.  Look for more information on these levels coming soon.  For more information on the campaign or donation options feel free to contact Mr. Milledge or Coach Schroeder anytime.
