The Betty and Bobby Allison Courts in the new recreation center, as well as the Betty and Bobby Allison Intramural Fields on campus, will now be named in honor of philanthropist Bobby Allison and his late mother.
Students will have even more to look forward to when the Bill R. Foster and Family Recreation Center opens, thanks to a significant gift from philanthropist and businessman Bobby Allison. The $500,000 gift will support the construction of the center and endow a portion of the intramural sports program.
In recognition of the gift, the basketball courts inside the Foster Recreation Center will be named the Betty and Bobby Allison Courts and the intramural field at Cherry Street and National Avenue will be named the Betty and Bobby Allison Intramural Fields (Betty is the late mother of Bobby Allison).
?I am so pleased to assist the University in its effort to help with student projects,? Allison said. ?The youth of today are so important to our future and I am pleased to do my part in helping make a great educational college experience.?
The center, slated to open this fall, will have a climbing wall, an aquatics area, an indoor track, a cardio-fitness center, locker rooms and rooms for fitness assessment, dance and other activities. The center will have a modern, environmentally friendly design and is meant to meet the recreation, wellness and social needs of students for generations.
