Alan Hartzler Community Fund Awarded Grant

The Alan Hartzler Community Fund is pleased to announce it has received a $5,000 grant from The Sidney Community Donor-Advised Fund, an affiliated fund of Nebraska Community Foundation.

These funds will support the construction of the Alan Hartzler Memorial Basketball court in Sidney’s Legion Park.

Alan Hartzler was born and raised in Sidney and was always looking for ways to give back to the community. After his death, his family and friends wanted to find a way to honor Alan’s memory, and give back to the community that he was so heavily involved in. Alan was an avid sports lover, and especially loved coaching youth basketball. The Alan Hartzler Community Fund set out to build an outdoor basketball court in his honor at Sidney’s Legion Park. With the grant funds received from the Sidney Community Donor-Advised Fund, as well as numerous other grants and fundraisers, the court is now 100 percent funded.

With funding completed, the project is scheduled to start construction this spring, and upon completion, the court will be gifted back to the City of Sidney.
