TKO Field Fund
TKO Field Fund - Fundraising Campaign
Our Objective: TKO Owned Facility & Fields
Currently, TKO Premier partners with the Kalamazoo Soccer Complex, the Dome Sports Center, Soccerzone and other local facilities for our teams to train and play games during the fall, winter, and spring. The cost of renting these fields is our largest annual expense and we are often restricted to availability of the fields. With the continued rising costs of these facilities, it is time to invest in our TKO Field Fund Campaign!
We are embarking on a multi-year & multi-phase campaign to build our own facilities.
As we begin our Field Fund Campaign, we have identified the following Phases to get the ball rolling:
- Phase 1: Identify & purchase vacant land for practice fields
- Phase 2: Build an indoor facility
- Phase 3: Build outdoor turf fields
- Phase 4: Lights for extended use of fields, paved parking lot, outdoor concession stand / Bathroom
Please note: Phases are subject to change as we move through the construction process.
Field Study #1 - This rendering shows a smaller piece of property used to house an indoor facility in addition to one full sized outdoor field.
Field Study #2 - This rendering shows 16 acres that is a potential opportunity for the club to purchase.
Field Study #3 - This is what our vision would look like with 30+ acres.
Fundraising Campaign Goal
Our initial fundraising goal is to raise $1M - $2M over 18 months to start Phase 1.
- We have several plots of land around the greater Kalamazoo area that we are actively researching.
- These funds will cover the initial expenses of buying vacant land and the beginning phase of construction
- TKO will most likely need to mortgage other construction costs as we move through the other phases
(Dependent upon the amount of acreage that is purchased, constructions costs, etc.)
