Hello, my name is Davis Jackson and I am fundraising for my Eagle Scout Project and still need more money to get to my final goal amount, so if you can help, any amount would be appreciated.
I have already completed one weekend of work renovating the clubhouse at the JJ Pearce Mustangs baseball field and my second set of workdays is coming up this weekend. As a Mustang baseball player, I want to combine my love for the game with my Eagle project to improve the ballpark experience for future players and their families. The money raised will be used to purchase the materials needed to complete the project such as wood siding panels, lumber, roof panels, paint, brushes, and assorted fasteners and supplies.
If you would like to contribute to my project, the GoFund Me can be found here: DAVISEAGLE
My final work days are coming up this weekend November 18-19. Please note that I changed the original planned time & location for Saturday, so check the signup genius for the most updated information. Even if you can't work an entire shift, any time/help is appreciated. Please sign up for a shift (or two) at this link: DJWORKDAYS
