SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe (SISLT) has finished the installation of the warning track at Soroptimist Stadium: Home of Girls Softball at the South Tahoe Middle School.
They would like to thank all the donors who made it possible.
SISLT members began their softball field renovation project on this field with a $325,000 contribution and have been managing the upgrades in cooperation with the Lake Tahoe Unified School District to provide girls with Title IX-compliant facilities.
The 5,000-square-foot warning track is a necessary safety feature at the perimeter of the field to increase visibility and prevent collision injuries as players near the outfield fence. The track can also help prevent player ankle injuries from uneven surfaces by mitigating the annual rodent damage.
The warning track was not in the original budget and SISLT received $10,000 from the City of South Lake Tahoe, $5,000 from Liberty Utilities, and $1,000 from Soroptimist Sierra Nevada Region toward its construction. SISLT also sold outfield sponsorship banners to local individuals and businesses to raise funds.
SISLT thanks donors and banner sponsors: Adele Lucas, Barton Health, Carolyn MacRae, Carolyn Meiers, Cary & Michelle Sarnoff, Cathy DiCamillo, Cheryl Chambers, Cindy Archer, City of South Lake Tahoe, Cork & More, Ellen Camacho, Ernie’s Coffee Shop, Fident Capital, G.B.
