Cedar Falls Schools Foundation Gives Big on Giving Tuesday

To celebrate Giving Tuesday, the Cedar Falls Schools Foundation was thrilled to present a check to the school district in the amount of $33,237.97, representing 14 excellence grants submitted by district staff earlier this fall.

Giving Tuesday is a national day of giving that falls after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Shop Small Saturday and Cyber Monday.

We are pleased to announce that Samantha "Reimer" Teply has agreed to take the Head Softball Coaching position at Cedar Falls High School. This position became available after the retirement of Steve Chidester.

Samantha "Reimer" Teply graduated from Dubuque Wahlert High School, where she was a 5-year starter and 3-year team captain. While playing for Dubuque Wahlert, Teply set the single-season record for career batting average, doubles, and home runs. She was also named the Telegraph Herald player of the year and selected 4 times to the All-State teams, including 3 times on the 1st Team and 1-time Elite All-State. She was also named to the Wahlert Hall of Fame.

Samantha "Reimer" Teply went on to play softball at the University of Northern Iowa, where she was a 4-year starter and was named team captain for 2 years. She was a Missouri Valley All-Conference selection and helped UNI win the 2012 MVC Championship.

After graduating from UNI, she was the head softball coach at Western Dubuque for 3 years and head coach at Dubuque Wahlert for 1-year. Her teams finished in the top half of the conference every year. She then graduated from Iowa State with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine and works at Den Herder Veterinary Hospital in Waterloo.

Athletic Director Troy Becker commented, "Samantha is the perfect fit for our softball head coaching position. She will bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and positive energy to our program, and I'm very confident that she can help every athlete grow as a person and player."

Cedar Falls Schools and Cedar Falls Athletics are excited to announce the One Team, One Dream Giving Tuesday Campaign results and updates on the project fundraising.

Thank you to all our #tigerpride donors - past, present and future! We are One Team, One Dream!

The SCHEELS Tiger Performance Center (TPC) received $45,350 in donations and pledges during the Giving Tuesday campaign, this includes the anonymous donor who initiated the matching funds. The total fundraised since inception is $4,083,667. For the TPC Phase One goal, $5 million is needed for the District to bid the project in spring 2023. Thank you for your incredible support!

The Cedar Falls Community Natatorium (Pool) received $86,635 in donations and pledges during the Giving Tuesday campaign, this includes the anonymous donor who initiated the matching funds. The natatorium is a partnership between the Cedar Falls School District, the City of Cedar Falls, and the community - coordinated by the Jump In volunteer committee. The Jump In committee has raised $2,663,713 of community contributions which include the Giving Tuesday funds. Jump In’s community goal is $3.3 million so $636,287 from the community is still needed in order to proceed with construction for the final phase of the project (phase 2). Phase 1 construction of the Natatorium has been approved by the Cedar Falls Board of Education. Thank you for your incredible support!

Additional thanks to the anonymous donor for their support along with the volunteer committee members of both the TPC and Natatorium.

“The One Team, One Dream facility plan will impact the next 50 years of Tiger students, staff and community members. We are so fortunate to have generous donors stepping forward to bring this dream to a reality. Thank you!”, said Troy Becker, Cedar Falls Athletics and Activities Director.

There is still time to #donatenow or #pledgenow for ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM Giving Tuesday Campaign! Because of YOU, we are getting closer to completing these projects - both to be located at the new CFHS on West 27th. If you have donated or pledged, THANK YOU! If you are considering, help us finish #GivingTuesday #Tigerpride strong!
