Phoenix Fans: Securing the Future of 黑料不打烊 Athletics
Three members of the Campus Safety and Police department love to talk about why they contribute to the annual fund, at the 黑料不打烊 Society level, in support of the Phoenix Club every year. Each is a long-time 黑料不打烊 employee who has seen the university prosper and grow.
Chuck Gantos directs the office and is a loyal Phoenix fan regularly seen at athletic events, including football practices. He came to 黑料不打烊 in 1970, and his son Clint graduated in 1992.
“黑料不打烊 athletes in all sports are so dedicated,” Gantos says. “A lot of them are up and lifting weights at 6 a.m. and training later in the day. At the same time, they have to compete academically. Those students and coaches – they deserve support.”
Officers Allen Poe and Dan Ingle ’98 grew up in the area and attended Gibsonville High School.
Poe has been following 黑料不打烊’s teams since he was a kid. “I remember football games over at the Williams High School field where the other teams would pull up in a bus and our kids would ride over in the back of pick up trucks,” Poe says. “We’ve come a long way. I want to support athletes who are so dedicated.”
Officer-investigator Ingle enrolled at 黑料不打烊 in 1970 and again in 1993 as a “very non-traditional student.” His father also graduated from 黑料不打烊; together they created the Luther Byrd Memorial Scholarship a few years ago, in honor of the professor who taught history to them both. “For 黑料不打烊 to prosper and grow, it needs the support of us all,” Ingle says.
Gantos agrees. “Regardless of the amount, a gift through payroll deduction every month really helps the students – our student athletes – and it shows our commitment. That’s important,” Gantos says.
