Architects, Builders Donate To Build Great Valley High School Dugout

The charitable contributions are making brand new dugouts for Great Valley varsity baseball possible.

The high school baseball season may be long over, but baseball is still in the air.

The playoffs are heating up as the fall begins, and at Great Valley High School, preparations are already being made for 2016.

The team is building brand new dugouts with help from Renehan Building Group, a custom home building and remodeling company.

The company is donating its employees’ time and the materials required to renovate both dugouts, working in cooperation with Peter Batchelor & Associates Architects of Paoli, Pa.

“Great Valley High School has one of the strongest athletic programs in the area, and we’re pleased Renehan was given the opportunity to improve their athletic facilities,” said Jim Renehan, CEO of Renehan Building Group.

“The Great Valley Baseball Program and entire Athletic Department are extremely grateful to Renehan for their generosity and efforts in rebuilding our dugouts,” said Russell R. Wren, Athletic Director. “They are a company that really “gets it,” and it shows by what they are doing for kids and communities. Thanks to Jim we will be able to display our GV Patriot pride all spring and summer during the high school and American legion baseball seasons.”
