The Sycamore High School Softball Team received a $10,000 grant to aid in the construction of dugouts for their new field. Jill Carpenter, head coach, said in her grant proposal: “There is a lot of failure and growth that comes with playing sports and being involved on a team. The fact that we will get the play on [a new] diamond is going to invigorate our group with a whole new level of pride in our program and themselves.” This grant was made possible by the Bernice Kendall Memorial Fund for Women’s Athletics.
