EWG Sports 4 Kids

A group of parents, community members and alumni hoping to revive plans to rebuild the track and football field at EWG Jr/Sr High School joined forces in September 2003 with teachers looking to honor a former colleague who died a few months earlier of colon cancer. They formed EWG Sports 4 Kids, with the goal of building a sports complex named after the teacher, Stephen J. Anderson. During the 29 years that Anderson taught in the EWG school system, he coached cross country, track and soccer. For 15 years, he represented the area in the General Assembly as a state representative.

Our Goal is to raise $1.2 million to build the sports complex. To date, we have raised about $900,000 through various grants and fundraisers, including a car raffle, comedy nights and golf tournaments. Our signature fundraiser is the annual Stephen J. Anderson 5K road race being held in October.

The group is also seeking corporate donations and matching grants from charitable foundations.
