RHS STADIUM PROGRESS UP TO DATE 4/2016
The Ripon High Stadium has had $1.6M in COMMUNITY DONATED improvements installed since 2013. Ripon Unified School District (RUSD) gave an additional $250,000 over the years. We say that’s a great return on their investment!
We’ve installed:
In case you are wondering why we are continuing to raise funds for bathrooms after installing so much already, here are some survey results from last year!
The RHS students and athletes prefer the porta-potties over the existing dreadful bathrooms. Out of 588 surveyed Ripon High students, 80% of them feel awkward while using their stadium restrooms.
Thank you for your consideration to invest in our kids and community,

We’ve installed:
- A new football field that accommodates soccer for the first time ever
- An all-weather track, finally bringing our track to regulation length
- 600 yards of concrete
- A double-sided LED screen scoreboard
- A plethora of other projects too numerous to mention here
- RUSD recently voted to replace the home bleachers! Plans are to install them this year.
- RUSD allocated $100,000 towards replacing the horrible stadium bathrooms
- RHS Booster Club & RCAF are teaming up to match a $50,000 fund the RUSD has allocated towards bathrooms. The stadium bathrooms are completely unacceptable and inaccessible. A GoFundMe campaign was just kicked off and we’ve already received a $25,000 pledge towards it! (https://www.gofundme.com/vtz4b3jp for GoFundMe campaign) (see article below)

Dear Friends, Family, Ripon Community members, and Alumni,
The Ripon High Booster Club has joined forces with the Ripon Community Athletic Foundation to raise much needed money to rebuild the bathrooms as the RHS stadium.
The Ripon Unified School District set aside $50,000 for us to match but much more money is needed to complete the project.
We have set up a GOFUNDME account and encourage you to donate and SHARE with your friends, post on your Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and any other form of social media.
Our link is: https://www.gofundme.com/vtz4b3jp
Donations can also be sent via mail to:
RHS Booster Club, 301 N. Acacia Ave, Ripon CA 95366. Please put “bathroom” in the comment area.
If we receive a donation by June 15, 2016 your name will be published in the 2016-17 Ripon Community Coupon Book. All donations will be permanently recognized in the finished stadium relative to its size.
Please help us complete this project and help us promote this campaign.
Thank you.

RIPON STADIUM REVITALIZATION PROJECT
|
Ripon Community Athletic Foundation began with the grassroots efforts of a small group with like-minded aspirations...and grew with years of planning, constructing, giving, and cultivating...resulting in seemingly insurmountable successes that continue to enhance the quality of life and potential for all in the Ripon community. We have come far since the early days of conception, and the progress continues on an effort with such a large scope of work. We thank all those who continue to support!
We invite you to join us as we raise funds and in-kind donations to revitalize and maintain the Ripon High Stadium. Virtually every student attending Ripon schools utilizes this facility, as well as Ripon Chiefs Youth Football Teams and Cheerleading Squads. It is a cultural hub for generations of athletes and spectators in our town. For questions, or to get project updates, please Contact Us or call Stephanie Hobbs (209) 599-6861
