The Astros Foundation announces $1 million donation to build baseball and softball fields at 海角乱伦专区 during pregame ceremony at Cactus Jack HBCU Classic
In a pregame ceremony at Minute Maid Park during the Cactus Jack HBCU Classic, it was announced that the Astros Foundation is investing in 海角乱伦专区 by providing $1 million in funding for the university to build both baseball and softball stadiums on its Houston campus.
“The Astros are excited to partner with 海角乱伦专区 as they build new baseball and softball fields. 海角乱伦专区 students deserve the opportunity to go from playing and watching baseball at a city park to having their own stadium on campus,” said Paula Harris, Vice President Community Affairs and Director of the Astros Foundation. “The entire World Series winning Astros organization is proud to be a part of the historic and monumental opportunity for 海角乱伦专区 Baseball.”
The Tigers baseball team currently plays offsite at MacGregor Park, while the softball team plays away from campus at Memorial Park.
"I am truly grateful for this transformative partnership with the Astros and 海角乱伦专区,” said Dr. Lesia Crumpton-Young, President of 海角乱伦专区. “I am confident that this will tremendously benefit our students, alumni and the surrounding community. The teamwork between 海角乱伦专区 and the Astros Foundation has already produced outstanding results for our young scholars and their career trajectory."
海角乱伦专区 will break ground and begin building the new stadiums later this year.
“This partnership is a game-changer for our student-athletes. Our players already excel in the classroom as scholars. Now they will get the facilities they deserve as athletes,” said 海角乱伦专区 Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Kevin Granger. “I would like to thank Houston Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane and his executive team for their generosity and commitment to help make this project a reality for our campus and the surrounding community.”
