Treyton Kilar Field of Dreams Family Fun Day on May 14th

Fundraising continues for the Treyton Kilar Field of Dreams Construction project.

Six year old Treyton Kilar of Whitewater was killed in an apparent drunken driving accident Sept. 2, 2010.

In the memory of Treyton, project organizers are trying to raise money to build a 225- to 250-foot baseball field on Starin Park’s northeast side, complete with concrete dugouts, bleachers and a scoreboard. It also could include lighting and a restroom and concessions building, depending on the amount of funding.

They’ve already raised just over $75,000 through events and donations.

Through the efforts of many organizers are attempting yo raise $474,000 to build a 220-225 foot, youth-sized field with concrete dugouts, fencing, concession stands and lights. This will provide a safe place for children and families to celebrate life and learn how to make responsible, life-long decisions.

It will encourage active and healthy lifestyles, build community togetherness, encourage families to spend and enjoy time together, and build a place where children are encouraged to dream big and learn that through hard work and vision, their dreams can become reality!

The Kilars are planning for the Family Fun Day fundraiser on May 14th to help build Treyton’s Field of Dreams.

“One of the things our family is trying to do is make the events about family and fun,” Mary Kilar, Treyton’s mother, said. “We really hope the May 14 event will be a great family time together for everybody.”

Family Fun Day will go from 3 p.m -midnight May 14 at the American Legion in Whitewater.

A live auction will take place at 8:30 p.m. offering a one-week vacation to a Florida condo, a one-week trip to a Tennessee cabin, a powerboat tour of Lake Michigan and many other great items. A silent auction will offer other items from 3-4:30 p.m., 5-6:30 p.m. and 7-8:15 p.m.

Food and beverages will also be distributed throughout the day, along with children’s activities from 3-6 p.m. and live music from 7-11 p.m.

Great fun for the entire family!
