About this fundraiser

Thanks to a generous alumni donor, a new archway will be installed in August of 2023 at the player’s entrance of the EAHS Football Stadium and JoAnn Schaffer Track. The archway will honor EASD Coaches Dean Wilson and Paul Yanke for their contributions to education and athletics. Yanke led the Elks for 26 years as head football coach as well as an assistant coach of wrestling, track, and basketball. On the football field Yanke led teams to three conference championships and numerous playoff appearances.

Wilson was a football coach for 26 years with 15 of those years as head coach. Wilson’s teams were conference champs seven times and playoff qualifiers 12 times. Wilson also coached wrestling, basketball, and baseball in different capacities while founding and running the City of Elkhorn Recreation Department for 23 years.

To celebrate their legacy, the Elkhorn Area School District Recognition Committee is raising funds to install commemorative plaques for the new archway. These plaques will serve as a tribute to Coach Wilson and Coach Yanke and their many contributions to our students and community.

However, we cannot do this without your help. Please consider helping us meet our fundraising goal of $2,500 to purchase and install these plaques. Your donation, no matter how small, will go a long way in ensuring that we can install these plaques and celebrate the legacy of our alumni for generations to come. Any excess funds raised will support future recognitions.

Thank you for your support!
