Cedar Falls Community Schools is pleased to recognize the following donors in their support of the Cedar Falls SCHEELS Tiger Performance Center!
Cedar Valley Medical Specialists PC, $350,000
Cedar Valley Medical Specialists, P.C. have donated in support of the TPC concourse, TPC team training room, and CFHS athletic training room. “CVMS has had a long history providing athletic training services at Cedar Falls High School and we figured this would be the best way to take it to the next level not only for the students but for the entire Cedar Falls community!”
The Deery Brothers, $250,000 and the Deery Boys, $50,000
DJ, Dustin and Dylan Deery have donated in support of the CFHS weight room and John and Dan Deery will be naming the CFHS stadium scoreboard. “We thought that this was a perfect opportunity for our families to give back to our community and a school that has given us so much. This new school will attract new families to the area and help the city of Cedar Falls continue to thrive. It’s an exciting time to have young kids growing up in Cedar Falls!”
The Family of Richard E. and Marianne J. Nemmers, $250,000
In honor of Richard and Marianne Nemmers, children Julie Deery, Bob Nemmers, and Dick Nemmers have donated in support of the CFHS competitive gymnasium scoreboard. "We felt this would be a great way to honor the legacy of our father and mother. As lifelong Cedar Falls residents, they will soon have a third generation of Cedar Falls High School student-athletes, carrying on the proud tradition of Tigers in this fine new facility. "
The TPC will be a multi-purpose facility that will be built adjacent to the new Cedar Falls High School. This facility will serve as a transition from the main building structure and the stadium, supporting a wide variety of programs including academics, athletics, and activities.
Included in the design will be a 50-yard artificial turf field, running track, and multipurpose flooring along with additional amenities. The space will accommodate tennis, basketball, volleyball, batting cages, and golf nets. Additionally, the space will also provide much-needed indoor space for student clubs and organizations like robotics and the marching band and can be used as a classroom extension for daily use.
“The design intent is for this building to be a focal point for all district activities to expand the district's potential as an integral part of the community and region. The SCHEELS TPC will allow our school and Cedar Falls area groups to host large weekend tournaments or events, which we do not have the capacity to do currently,” said Cedar Falls Athletic and Activities Director, Troy Becker. This increased traffic created by these tournaments will boost the local economy through local restaurants, hotels, and other businesses.
Both the newly proposed Aquatics Center and the Tiger Performance are part of the One Team, One Dream initiative and were not part of the original school district bond. Private donations and support from the community, school, and city are needed for the facilities.
Cedar Falls Superintendent, Dr. Andy Pattee added, "On behalf of the District, thank you for these generous donations. I am continually overwhelmed by the amazing support in our community."
