MEMORIAL FOUNDATION

 

January 14, 2012

Dear Friend,

 

Great news! 

For the second year in a row, the Gary Gates Memorial Foundation is joining forces with the Novato Girls Softball Association to bring you the 16^th Annual Dinner/Dance Auction fundraiser. This event will be held Saturday, February 25, 2012.

 

As you may know, we are raising funds to complete the Gary Gates softball field at San Marin High School. The Gary Gates field is still the only lighted high school softball field in Marin County. The snack shack and announcers booth opened for the 2002 softball season. In 2008 and 2009 we completed the installation of the bleachers and the handicap accessible announcers’ platform.

Last year thousands of fans enjoyed games played under the lights at Gary Gates Field.  The field was home to our local recreation teams, the San Marin Mustangs, the North Coast Section Championships and was once again the main field for the third annual Novato Classic Summer Softball Tournament.

 

The bleachers were constantly packed!

The dream of a premier championship facility has come to life and will certainly draw even more fans and players in the years to come.

 

We need your continued support to complete the emergency access road and the handicap walkways. In addition, we present scholarships to both Novato High School and San Marin High School. The Novato Girls Softball Association continues to have a great program while keeping the cost for players down.

To continue this dream of Gary Gates, we would appreciate any items that you can provide to be included in our silent or live auctions.

Your contribution will be acknowledged at the event and you will receive a follow up letter for tax purposes.

 

We also have limited space available for advertising on the outfield fence.

Please call or respond today!  Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

 

Emily Gates

In honor of Coach Gary Gates of San Marin High School, the Gary Gates Memorial Softball Field is a community-driven project to provide resources for youth in Novato, California.

The Gary Gates Memorial Softball Field is the only lighted softball field in Marin County and one of the finest fields in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most Division II colleges don't have fields as nice as the Gary Gates Memorial Softball Field.


The building of the softball field has been a community effort spearheaded by the diligent dedication of Jim Spilman. Due to his leadership, its construction was funded almost entirely by donations from the community.
