Over a year after losing a son and brother in Treyton to an alcohol-related car accident, the Kilar family is getting closer to seeing the “Treyton Kilar Field of Dreams” become a reality.
The family has raised about $315,000 of the roughly $450,000 needed to build the little-league field in Treyton’s memory.
Although official results won't be released until Oct. 23, the Kilar family finished second in the Pepsi Refresh Project. If the grant is officially awarded, construction could begin in the spring for Treyton Kilar's Field of Dreams.
Determination is a word that can be thrown around and overused at times.
It’s a word that may not mean much to most people.
Don’t tell that to Mary Kilar though, as determination has much more than little meaning to her.
Determination is what helped her become a two-time All-American volleyball player at UW-Whitewater.
It’s what helped her get through troubling times as a single mother out of college.
It was a race too close to call, and one that ended on a disappointing note for many supporters of “Treyton Kilar’s Field of Dreams.” The project was edged out at the last minute to receive a $250,000 Pepsi Refresh grant during the competition in January. Despite the setback, the Kilar family is determined to make the dream a reality.
