WHITEWATER, Wis. – Over 100 attendees at the 10^th Annual Friends of the Program, Ltd. (FOTP) Charity Golf Outing helped raise $11,589 for the Treyton Kilar Field of Dreams Project. The record setting event for FOTP was held Saturday, August 20 at Prairie Woods Golf Course in Avalon, Wis.

The proposed Treyton’s Field of Dreams is a 220-225 foot, youth-sized field with concrete dugouts, fencing, concession stands and lights to be located at Starin Park in Whitewater.

“We are touched by the outpouring of support by this entire community and the Friends of the Program,” said Mary Kilar. “Friends of the Program reaches out to so many worthwhile programs year after year and to have this support for the Treyton Kilar Field of Dreams means so much to our family.”

The shotgun start will begin promptly at 12:30 p.m. This anniversary year is likely to be the largest in the organization’s first ten years as all proceeds will support the Treyton Kilar Field of Dreams project.

The overall impact will be as widespread for the community as anything we’ve done in the past nine years.”

One month before his 7th birthday, Treyton Kilar’s dreams were cut short when a drunk driver took his young life on September 2, 2010.
