EAST AVRORA BASEBALL & SOFTBALL September 17, 2026 Dear Town of Aurora Board Members, East Aurora Baseball & Softball (EABB&SB ) is excited to be working with the Town and several community partners on a project of Aurora to add permanent lighting to the 42 North baseb and softball field. all This project represents a significant investment in the future of our baseball and softball complex and, more importantly, in the recre ational opportunities available to children families throughout our community. The fieid and serves players of all ages for both baseball softball, and adding lights would allow us to and significantly expand the number of games and practices that can be held there, particularly during the Spring and fall when limited dayli restricts our schedule. ght We have made a significant effort to build commu nity support for this project and reduce its overall cost. To date, we have secured commi tments for approximately $13,000 in light from Ferguson Electric and the lighting fixtur poles es from Bernie Bunny. We are also committed to conducting our own fundraising efforts to help offset the remaining expenses. The current estimated project costs include: Six 60-foot utility poles: $1 3,000 — donated by Ferguson Electric Lighting fixtures: $13,604 — donated by Berni e Bunny Brackets and hardware: Approximately $9,000 Pole installation: $6,380.72 Conduit and wire: Approximately $6,000 We are asking the Town of Aurora to contribute toward the remaining project costs and provide municipal resources and expertise where appro priate to help bring the project to completion. Because the Town owns and manages the compl ex, the completed lighting system will become a permanent improvement to Town recreational infrastructure, benefiting not only EABB&SB's current players and families, but future generation s of residents and other groups using the fields. EABB&SB will continue fundraising and seeking private support, but we believe the investment in this permanent improvement should be shared.
