Sally Blair Ames Sports Complex to Undergo Expansion

Opened in 1988, the Sally Blair Ames Sports Complex was designed to serve 1,930 students. Today, it serves 2,500 students. In addition, student participation in club and intramural sports has skyrocketed, which means the Sports Complex needs more space and an upgrade in facilities.

To support this expansion, the College has launched a fundraising campaign to raise $7 million for the project.

THE CLARK CHALLENGE

Jim Clark '76 right, has announced a challenge to the Stonehill alumni community.

The goal of the challenge is to raise $250,000 by May 31, 2013.

And, because Jim Clark is so passionate about this project, he will personally match every dollar contributed by alumni up to a total of $250,000.

Please join Jim in supporting Stonehill with a gift for the expansion of the Sally Blair Ames Sports Complex. In doing so, you will help ensure that Stonehill will be able to deliver on its mission of educating the whole person for generations to come.
