As the 2010 Fund Drive comes to an end it's still important that BISA continues to look to the future. There was great success raising the funds needed to complete over $750,000 worth of projects at the Larson Ice Center these past few years. The partnerships that were forged with the City of Brookings, and local businesses will be very important to BISA's future success, and the 2010 Fund Drive was just one of many more step in BISA's future.
While the Larson Ice Center enters it's second decade of service, and as BISA looks to the future, it's important to remember that fund raising never really stops. There are still projects yet to be completed, and as BISA grows so will our needs. It is the hope of all the individuals involved with the 2010 Fund Drive that all the fans, players, officials, and parents get many years of enjoyment at the Larson Ice Center.
