FC Wisconsin's State of the Art Lighted Turf Fields

Sarah Hegarty Field 2

A star athlete, in soccer and basketball, Sarah was poised to set records and receive scholarship offers. She started on her DSHA soccer team as a freshman and helped her HS basketball team to a state championship as a sophomore. Sarah was a legend in the making. On March 20, 1996 she became ill during soccer practice and was rushed to the emergency room.  She barely survived. 

The next two years were a testament to her courage, optimism, and tenacity under the most difficult circumstances. Sarah had over 50 surgeries. She lived in and out of the hospital, yet continued to attend her teammate’s games. She had two failed organ transplants. Sarah attended school, whenever possible, and was prom queen. Sarah's story and her courage became a movement. She embraced life and the community embraced Sarah. Then, in March of 1998, at 18 years of age, Sarah Hegarty passed away. 

FC Wisconsin commemorates Sarah’s triumphant life with the Sarah Hegarty Field. Thank you to the Sarah Margaret Hegarty Foundation for your generous contribution to the development of the complex and all the families, individuals and businesses who donated in Sarah’s honor.
