Elyria Catholic is offering an opportunity to become a Yard Line Sponsor for $5,000. Your name or the name of an individual you want to honor will be displayed on a rendering of our new synthetic turf field in the homestand plaza. When you become a Yard Line Sponsor, we will celebrate your movement of the ball down the field as a grand moment in EC athletic history unless you prefer to remain anonymous. Yard Line Sponsors are filled in consecutively on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please accept the challenge established by the Dan and Mila Reaser Family Foundation and make this a better space for the Panther student experience!
The Game On! campaign will have a profound impact on our students, families, and community. The modern and renovated stadium will support football, soccer, track & field, cheer squad, band, and lacrosse programs. Athletic programs at Elyria Catholic are thriving, and an upgraded stadium will best serve our teams, students, and community year-round. Elyria Catholic students consistently display their Game On! attitude during practice and competition. Will you join them in showing your support?
Donations of any size to the stadium fund are appreciated and will help us accomplish our goal. Pledges are accepted and can be paid over a two-year period. Please register and pay online here or mail your check payable to Elyria Catholic High School to the Philanthropy & Engagement Office, Elyria Catholic High School, 725 Gulf Rd., Elyria, OH 44035.
In April of 2021, President Annie Heidersbach and the Elyria Catholic community celebrated a $400,000 philanthropic gift, the largest in Elyria Catholic history, from the Dan and Mila Reaser Family Foundation to install a synthetic turf field in our stadium. The Reaser’s generosity has inspired efforts to revitalize the Elyria Catholic exterior athletic complex. We have identified four phases of improvements, prioritized by meeting the needs of our student-athletes first.
