Pitch

Building a sports complex would be beneficial to our community. Here are the reasons why and also how it will be created.

By Connor M. from Endless Mountain in Pennsylvania

I think building a sports complex would be beneficial to the community. It provides the opportunity for many individuals to get exercise or play the sports they love. The complex would be open all day run by volunteers that would get paid. It would give students the chance to earn community service hours as well. The building of the complex would be funded through fundraising and online fundraising. This is important to our community because it creates the opportunity for people to interact and bond with each other. Through doing this it will create a tighter bond with our community and overall bring people closer together.
