The EVSC Foundation invites the community to the Coach Mike Owen field dedication Friday, October 1 at Central High School located at 5400 First Ave., Evansville IN 47710.
The event will celebrate the naming of Central‘s football field in honor of longtime coach, friend, and mentor Mike Owen (1953-2019). The dedication ceremony of Coach Owen’s field will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. before the Central Bears take on the Harrison Warrior’s 7:00 p.m. Admission is $6.
EVSC Foundation along with a committee of dedicated Central faculty, alumni, and friends set a goal to raise $50,000 to make Coach Owen Field a reality. Support from former players, class/reunions, corporations, family, and friends came together to surpass the goal and reach the $55,000 mark within weeks. Support goes directly to Central High School to benefit academic and athletic programs.Â
Preserving Mike’s legacy by adding his name to Central’s football field一 a place where he spent many years supporting young people, Central High School, and the Evansville community was paramount to the community who witnessed Mike’s impact first hand. A donor recognition plaque will be placed at Central after the first of the year to thank supporters.
It’s not too late to make a gift to honor Coach Owen and support Central High School. To join this effort, please mail support to the EVSC Foundation at 951 Walnut St., Evansville, IN 47713, or make a gift online at evscfoundation.org/give-today. EVSC Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization recognized by the IRS. For questions related to Coach Owen Field, please contact EVSC Foundation at info@evscfoundation.org.
