The sports medicine room in the John A. Koury Fieldhouse on the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ campus will be named in memory of a late ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ student during a ceremony at 1:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14.
The Festus Stacy Foundation pledged $100,000 to name the room in memory of Chad Macy, an ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ freshman who died in a 1992 automobile accident. Macy, a native of Pompano Beach, Fla., was a member of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ football team.
Macy’s roommate was Sean Stepelton, a football teammate and 1995 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ graduate. The Stacy Foundation is a Christian foundation established by Stepelton’s grandparents, Festus and Helen Stacy. Festus Stacy enjoyed a successful career as founder and owner of APenn and Penn Champ Oil Companies in Butler, Pa.
The naming is part of recent expansion to the fieldhouse, including an enlarged sports medicine room and football locker room. The improvements are part of the recent renovations at Latham Baseball Park and the construction of Rhodes Stadium.
