$26,300 FOR LIGHTS, Ricky was planning a fundraising concert for the
baseball program at the time of his accident. His first
word was “light” and as a pitcher, he loved night games. The Ricky Woodring Memorial Fund’s long
term
goal is to place lights on the Galena High Baseball Field as a tribute to Ricky’s life.
Thank you to all the past supporters who have made these accomplishments possible. Future donations are
most appreciated for student scholarships. Your support will also help to reach the goal of lights and the vision
Ricky and many others have of Galena hosting Northern Nevada Zone Championship Games.
