Bayside HS Athletic Field Renovation & Honoring Neal Nelson.

The Bayside High School Football Alumni are asking for your Support to Help Us Honor and Celebrate our Inaugural Bayside High School Football Coach, Neal Nelson.

We are excited to announce a very special event on Saturday October 18, 2025 at a time to be determined to celebrate our school’s proud athletic tradition and future! We are dedicating a bronze plaque in honor of Coach Neal Nelson, who was the inaugural football coach of Bayside High School, whose leadership and legacy continue to inspire generations of student-athletes.

In addition to the plaque dedication, we’ll be celebrating the renovation of our athletic field, which is a $4M project that underway and reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence in athletics and community pride.

To make this celebration truly special, we are raising funds to cover:

    •    A bronze plaque honoring Coach Nelson

•. Celebration day activities and event set up.

    •    Continued support for the current Bayside High School Football Program.

    •    A 3% fee to GoFundMe

Please consider contributing and sharing this campaign with others who care about preserving Bayside High School’s legacy and investing in its future. Together, we can honor the past and fuel the future of Bayside football.

Thank you for your support!
