Ladysmith Eagles donate $50,000 for new scoreboards

The Fraternal Order of Eagles #2101 Aerie and Auxiliary are providing a donation to the Town of Ladysmith in the amount of $50,000 to fund the purchase and installation of three new scoreboards for our sports fields.

The scoreboards will be installed at Forrest Field, Aggie Field and Holland Creek Ballpark, benefiting local youth and sports organizations, as well as supporting the capacity of our local sports organizations to host games and tournaments.

“On behalf of Council, thank you to our local Eagles members for your ongoing commitment to local youth sports,” said Mayor Aaron Stone.  “Your generous gift will have a lasting legacy in the community and provide a more entertaining experience for spectators and players during events.”

The funds raised by the Eagles is part of a long-standing involvement of almost three decades with the Harbour City Bingo.

The Eagles, following their mandate of “People Helping People,” have provided funding to soccer, football, hockey, figure skating, baseball, softball and swimming organizations in the past.  

The members are very excited about this scoreboard project because at one time or another they’ve had family members participating in games on these fields.

The Eagles also continue to partner with Ladysmith Rotary Club, Ladysmith Lions Club and Ladysmith Kinsmen to help implement amenities defined with the Lot 108 Area Plan at Forrest Field.
