2020 KUTCHER FOUNDATION YEAR IN REVIEW
December 30, 2020
Dear Kutcher Foundation Supporter,
2020 brought a disappointing start to the year for us at The Kutcher Foundation.
The Coronavirus Pandemic forced us to cancel the First Annual Alumni Golf Classic down in Fort Myers, Florida. We had more than 20 participants lined up to play, with a wrap-up dinner of more than 40 people! While there are no plans for the Classic to take place in 2021, we are hopeful we can host it in the near future.
We also had to cancel what would have been our Second Annual Parents Weekend Mixer with The Johns Hopkins University Baseball Team in September.
2020 wasn’t a complete loss though!
In November, we announced that construction had begun on a new baseball stadium at The John Carroll School in Harford County, MD. It will be named Alumni Field at Kutcher Foundation Stadium.
The project is being funded through the largest grant in John Carroll School history and will also include renovations to their innovation center.
“We’re breaking ground not really on a baseball field, but first and foremost, a classroom as I see it,” said Foundation Executive Director, John Kutcher. “There’s a tremendous amount of educational vision behind this.”
The stadium is slated to be ready for the 2021 season with new dugouts, fencing, a removable mound and adjustable bases (which will allow the John Carroll softball team to play here as well). The Kutcher Foundation also sees these areas as a space for additional learning opportunities such as sports journalism/broadcasting, data analysis, computer science, and more.
As always, we would like to thank you for your continued support of The Kutcher Foundation.
