Local Donor, Rural School District Partner on New Community Center

Wanek Center2

Wanek Center in Arcadia, Wis., is an $18 million project that opened January 4 to serve the School District of Arcadia and the surrounding community. The Ronald and Joyce Wanek family, owners of Ashley Furniture, donated more than half the funds to complete the impressive community center, and the remaining proceeds came from the school district’s referendum and other donations. Bruce Schweisthal, School District of Arcadia athletic director and Wanek Center co-director, spoke with Athletic Business about how the facility came together and the goals for the future.
