Streater donated $10,000 to the Foundation, with $5,000 supporting construction efforts on the Brian Crawford Memorial Sports Complex and $5,000 set for the President’s Leadership Class (PLC) program. Streater was a member of PLC when he attended the College and said the program inspired him.

Beyond his donation, both he and his father, Dewayne Streater, have offered to donate work on the sports complex’s ongoing construction.
