The Bethel Legacy Committee, a subgroup of the Bethel Athletic Boosters, have just recently launched a fundraising campaign to help with the overall costs of the new athletic stadium at Bethel Local Schools! The committee has set a fundraising goal of $1 million to help supplement the overall project in order to finish off the stadium with the features and equipment we need to provide a first class experience for our community, district, staff and students.
