I'm reaching out to you, members of the Fruitdale community, with a heartfelt request that can significantly impact our local students and athletes. As many of you know, Fruitdale High School's baseball and softball teams have been facing an ongoing challenge – the lack of proper lighting on our baseball/softball field. This issue goes beyond mere inconvenience; it directly affects our students' ability to participate in evening games, forcing our teams to forfeit matches and lose valuable opportunities to compete. It's simply not fair for our students to face such limitations due to inadequate facilities.

The good news is that we have a chance to make a real difference! By coming together as a community and showing our support, we can apply for a grant that will provide the necessary funding to install high-quality lighting at Fruitdale High School's baseball field. However, to be successful in securing this grant, we need to demonstrate substantial community backing. This is where you come in.

By signing this petition, you indicate your support for the lighting project, which will not only benefit the students but also enhance the community's use of the field for local events and activities. Your signature confirms that there is a genuine need for these improvements, and importantly, it does not oblige you to contribute any money.

We need to gather as many signatures as possible from those who are 18 years or older. Every signature counts as a voice saying, "Yes, we believe in our kids, our community, and in high-quality, safe sports facilities."

Please join us in making our school's baseball field a well-lit, safer, and more usable space for everyone. Your support is crucial to our success. Let's ensure our students never have to forfeit a game again due to lack of lighting.

Sign the petition today to make a brighter future for our dedicated athletes! Thank you for standing by our students and community.
