Harry Dallara Memorial Foundation Inc co Charles Dallara

THE HARRY DALLARA MEMORIAL FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED TO HONOR THE LIFE AND MEMORY OF HARRY ANTHONY JOSEPH DALLARA (1917-2012) BY SUPPORTING ADDITIONS AND UPGRADES TO HARMON FIELD IN TRYON, NORTH CAROLINA. THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE INTENDED TO ENHANCE THE ENJOYMENT OF THOSE WHO MAKE USE OF HARMON FIELD, TO PROMOTE ADDITIONAL INTEREST IN THIS FAMILY-ORIENTED ATHLETIC FACILITY, AND TO BUILD BRIDGES ACROSS ALL PARTS OF THE TRYON COMMUNITY AND THE PIEDMONT REGION. WE WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE USE OF HARMON FIELD BY CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS FROM A BROADER RANGE OF SOCIOECONOMIC AND ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS, RESULTING IN THE FACILITY'S BECOMING AN EXPANDED RESOURCE FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. WE PROPOSE TO WORK THROUGH AREA CHURCHES, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND PRIVATE BUSINESSES TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL SPORTS LEAGUES, THEREBY INVOLVING A LARGER PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY BY INCREASING THE ATHLETIC AND COMMUNITY-BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS OF THE GREATER PIEDMONT REGION.
