“Sunday night a truck came through our parking lot, just turned around and kind of took a joyride through our parking lot,” said Jennifer Dahlman, president of Menasha Youth Sports.

The driver vandalized his newly renovated property at his sports complex on Earl Street in Fox Crossing.

“We had the parking lots resealed and repainted. To be proud of it and show it to our donors and then probably have it ruined less than two weeks later is really disheartening,” Dahlman said.

From the parking lot to other upgrades to the facility, Dahlman says they’ve recently spent tens of thousands of dollars.

The nonprofit organization provides youth baseball and softball opportunities to nearly 300 boys and girls in the area.

“We have our fall cleanup planned for tomorrow, so it’s a little disappointing when they get here and see this. But we hope that time will pass, that we won’t have to make repairs, and that maybe there will be some.” “We’ll raise more awareness about this in the future,” Dahlman said.

Dalhman says she doesn’t believe the culprit is anyone within the organization or anyone unhappy with Menasha Youth Sports.

Fox Crossing police say they are aware of the incident and are investigating.
