Why was Harmon Field renamed?

Greenville City Schools provided this in response to general questions about the recently renamed "Good Samaritan Stadium at Harmon Field."

Greenville City Schools was approached over a year ago by Good Samaritan Hospital and Wayne Health Care to sponsor Greenville City Schools. Good Samaritan and Wayne Health Care will provide compensation to the district in the amount of $230,000 from 2012-2016 for advertising in athletic areas. Harmon Field was renamed, “Good Samaritan Stadium at Harmon Field” for the length of the agreement.

The term of the contract is for 5 years with an option to renew for an additional 5 years for a total of $225,000. If Greenville City School opts for the full ten year agreement it would generate $455,000 that could be used to upgrade athletic facilities within Greenville City Schools.

Another great advantage of this agreement is that athletic training will be provided to all of Greenville City School athletes at a cost of 1.00 per year by a Wayne Health Care’s certified athletic trainer. This is a substantial savings for the district as Greenville City Schools will not have to employ their own athletic trainer. Many other districts have signed similar agreements, Northmont City Schools and Vandalia Butler are among a few of them.

By finding alternate revenue sources to help with upgrading athletic facilities we can save tax payer dollars.
