More Than a Field: A Place Where Belief Takes Root
There’s something powerful about standing on a field.
At FMCC, we believe in more than education. We believe in people — and the power of place to shape their lives.
There’s something almost sacred about a field.
It’s not just a stretch of turf. It’s where strangers become teammates. Where students discover what they’re capable of. Where a small-town kid kicks a ball and suddenly dares to dream bigger.
And right now, we’re building that kind of place — together.
Why This Field Matters
This is more than a project — it’s a statement:
A student-athlete finds purpose when everything else feels uncertain.
A grandparent sees their grandchild shine under the lights — right here at home.
A youth program finally has a top-tier field to call their own.
An FMCC alum smiles and says, “That’s my college.”
Thanks to generous donors, we’ve already raised over $650,000.
And every dollar you give right now is matched by New York State. That means your gift goes twice as far — and gets us even closer to finishing Phase I.
💬 From Our Students
“It’s not just about the sport
— it’s about feeling like I belong somewhere that someone believes in me.”

Your Gift Builds More Than a Field — It Builds Futures
Small acts of generosity still move mountains. Especially now.
$50 becomes $100 toward building a permanent home for student-athletes and community events.
$250 becomes $500 to help create a field that serves students and youth alike.
$1,000 becomes $2,000 to bring families, alumni, and neighbors together.
This field will host games — but more importantly, it will host belonging.
Inside, you’ll see the vision behind this project — and why your support now means more than ever.
