Our Mission

The mission of the Ron Weigleb Foundation is to ensure the principals, values, and legacy of Coach Weigleb are carried on for the youth of our community. To accomplish this endeavor, the Weigleb family along with former coaches and players have formed a committee to fundraise and donate to the football stadium, football program and all other projects determined by the committee that best serve the wishes and memory of Coach Weigleb.

2nd Annual Golf Scramble

2nd Annual Golf Scramble
October 23
It’s just around the corner.

The Ron Weigleb Foundation, on behalf of the Weigleb family, would like to thank everyone for their continued support. Last year’s 1st Annual Golf Scramble was a huge success and everybody had a great time. Coach would have loved it! More importantly, through the success of the golf scramble, our major fundraiser, and your continued support to the foundation, we were able to accomplish a great deal this first year.

Here’s a look at what’s been done so far:

The foundation designed and purchased the Ron Weigleb Stadium sign at the newly constructed Floyd Central Football field.

A $5000 scholarship was presented by Jan Weigleb during Floyd Central’s class night, the foundation donated one of the largest scholarships at Floyd Central to a graduating senior, Meghan Jones. The scholarship application is open to any graduating senior planning to attend college and must be a member of the football team or on the girl’s track team as a high jumper.

To be unveiled at the first home football game this season, the foundation coordinated, designed, and purchased two bronze plaques. One commemorating Ron Weigleb and the other for Glenn Scott.

The foundation has committed funds to the Highlander Youth Football League. During the first home game of the season, Jan Weigleb will present donation to the Highlander Youth Football League. The youth league players will have the opportunity to wear their team jerseys and form a tunnel for the Highlander football team to run through.

It’s also been decided to present a donation to a local Southern Indiana family who is currently fighting cancer.

The Ron Weigleb Foundation and the Weigleb family are pleased with what has been accomplished with your support. With guidance from the Weigleb family, every decision is based on this - “What would Coach think was right?”…and…“is it first class?” We believe we’ve been successful in answering that.

But we’re not done!

With your help, the Ron Weigleb Foundation will continue to ensure the principals, values, and legacy of Coach Weigleb are carried on. Our long-term vision is to increase the size of The Ron Weigleb Scholarship, and that the scholarship will continue to support deserving student-athletes in our community.

Additionally, the foundation will continue to seek out ways your donations can help our local community.

We can’t wait to see you at the 2nd Annual Golf Scramble on October 23. Sponsorship space is still available!

Thanks Again!
Weigleb Foundation
