Fan of the Year

BeardsleyClare Doane

Clare works at the fairgrounds, and despite often coming to games alone, he never misses an opportunity to cheer on the Elks. His dedication spans most sports and every season – always in the stands, always watching, and always caring. He may not have the loudest voice or the biggest platform, but he keeps tabs on our teams with genuine interest and pride. In a world where support is often measured in dollars, Claire reminds us that sometimes the truest fans are the ones who simply love their community and keep showing up, game after game, year after year.
