Boise State will have a new track complex by 2011, it was reported on the website for Channel 7, http://www.ktvb.com/news/localnews/stories/ktvbn-oct1009-park_donation.2040541af.html Boise, Idaho. The David & Debra Larsen Huber Foundation just gave $2.5 million for the land and the facility. The site will be the Old East Junior High in Boise, Idaho. The park will be called Donna Larsen Park, named after a teacher who taught at the East Junior high for thirty years! The namesake of the park is very excited about the park and the facility.
Boise needs to raise another three million to complete the facility, but they are nearly half way there! The complex will also host most of the city high school’s football games as well. The complex will be fourteen acres.
We just thought it was a nice donation, and will help thousands in the Boise area and wanted to tip our hats to the David & Debra Larsen Huber Foundation!
