Assistant Athletic Director for Communications and Sports Information Clint Often
As we look to the future of UMW Athletics, we have an opportunity to strengthen our home turf and honor a true Eagle champion by rejuvenating the Turf Stadium (D Field) Press Box at the Battleground Athletic Complex.
For nearly 30 years, Assistant Athletic Director for Communications and Sports Information Clint Often has been the voice and advocate for Mary Washington student-athletes. The support from this project will provide a new press box to be named in Often’s honor (pending approval by UMW’s Board of Visitors per the Named Gift Policy).
Linda Lemanski Blakemore ’84, who played field hockey and lacrosse on the D field, and Associate Professor Emeritus Porter Blakemore are offering a $150,000 challenge match for this project, so your gift will be matched dollar for dollar.
When we reach our goal of raising the matching $150,000, renovations to the press box will include:
- Modern broadcasting and live-streaming equipment
- Enhanced internet and game-day technology
- Structural and accessibility improvements
- Custom signage to honor Clint and recognize donors
Together, we can honor our past and invest in the future of UMW Athletics. Visit the Clint Often Press Box Donation webpage to contribute!
