Lake Forest Bank & Trust Makes Financial Commitment to LFHS Athletic Complex

will become a major contributor to the Lake Forest High School Booster’s , which is aimed at funding a new multi-purpose sports complex at historic Lindenmeyer Field.

The bank will also participate in the Boosters’ Community Partnership Program as one of the program’s exclusive Varsity Gold Partners, under a multi-year agreement.

The proposed new sports complex includes two state-of-the-art synthetic turf fields and a new track and field facility, for use by Lake Forest High School teams, wellness classes, intramurals and the community. The new facility will be the primary venue for certain LFHS sports – including boys and girls track, girls’ lacrosse and field hockey – and will supplement the athletic fields at LFHS’s west campus for other sports.

“The Diamond Anniversary Campaign is a remarkable, community-initiated project that has been met with great enthusiasm,” said David Lee, president of Lake Forest Bank & Trust.  “As Lake Forest’s hometown bank – locally controlled and managed – we, too, want to participate and support the Campaign to help ensure its success.”

The Diamond Anniversary Campaign is entering the final phases of fundraising, with an expectation to break ground in Spring 2012 and complete the new sports complex in time for the 2012-13 school year.
