Who Will This Help?
The “Buy a Brick for Legacy Wall” is a
fund raising effort focused on building the NFC Athletic Center - a facility
for all sports programs to utilize. The new athletic center will have
space for a new weight room, locker room, coach’s offices, cheerleader practice
space and meeting space within Legacy Hall. More importantly, it will use
athletics as the foundation to grow Christian leaders to become pillars in our
community, state and country.
What Is This Project?
The Legacy Project is designed to
build a new NFC Athletic Center for the NFC athletic programs.
When Will This Be Completed?
The short answer is as quickly as possible. The Legacy Project is
broken up into three phases.
Phase 1 - The Legacy Wall
Buy a Brick, Build a Wall, Build a Legacy - You may have seen the wall going up
in front of the bleachers. The purpose of the Legacy wall is two-fold.
First, it will enhance the overall aesthetics of our facility. It
will tie in the other structures around the stadium and provide a much needed
facelift. Second, it is provides the foundation for our fundraising
endeavors.
The Legacy Wall will be covered with bricks that you buy. You will
be able to add your name, short message, etc. and, if you like, a business or
family logo. The bricks will then be placed permanently on the Legacy
Wall for future generations to see. A majority of the price you pay for
the bricks will go directly to funding Phase II and III. The wall will be
a lasting legacy for future generations to see the generosity of those who
wanted to build a future even for those they did not know. By using custom
laser engraved bricks, NFC can reward our alumni and supporters with permanent
recognition in a prominent spot.
We are fortunate in that one of our alumni donated the cost of the wall to help us get started.
Phase II - Raising the Bleachers
Once the bricks of the Legacy Wall start going into place we will have the
needed resources to raise the bleachers. Doing this will give the fans a
better view of the football field as well as set the stage for the NFC
Athletic Center.
Phase III - The NFC Athletic
Center
Through the sales of the bricks and generous donations from alumni and
NFC supporters, we will build a state of the art athletic center. An NFC
alum said it best when asked why we need this facility. "As I see
Christianity more and more under attack, I can't help but think about Tim Tebow
and how he has always been determined to share his testimony on and off the
field. I cannot think of another star athlete who has endured more criticism
and repercussions for standing up for his faith. America needs more leaders
like Tim Tebow and NFC is the perfect place to train star athletes to stand
strong in the world we live in today. NFC needs a new high performance athletic
center to draw those young athletic minds in and train them to have strong
Christian character," said Bobby Kelly, NFC Alum.
The NFC Athletic Center will be built when we have the committed financial resources to complete the job in a timely manner. It is the hope of everyone involved that we will begin building in the spring of 2015.
Phase IV - Legacy Hall
The Legacy Hall will be the final phase of this project. Legacy Hall will be a
place for meetings, demonstrations, fund raisers, banquets, display of trophies
from past achievements, etc. The walls of Legacy Hall will eventually display
past athletes that have since made great accomplishments and will be inducted
into the NFC Legacy Hall of Fame. There will also be those recognized who have
contributed significantly to NFC.
