New Bleachers

In conjunction with the Development office, the Baptist Bible College & Seminary Alumni Association just began raising funds for a second set of bleachers for the gymnasium in the Phelps Student Center. The proposed bleacher addition, estimated at $75,000, will increase the gym’s seating capacity from 500 to 1000.

Mel Walker and Dawn Jacobs, alumni who have been actively involved in the athletics program at BBC, are spearheading the fundraising effort. Mel Walker, also a former BBC Defender, said: “We just want to give our former athletes an opportunity to be a vital part in the future development of the athletics program at BBC.”

Coach Huckaby, BBC’s Director of Athletics, has dreamt of a second set of bleachers for a long time. “We would love to see these bleachers installed and in use before Coach Huckaby retires. The only way that we’ll be able to do that is if our alumni and athletes get involved,” says Mel Walker.

If you would like to contribute to the bleacher project or if you want more information, please contact Mel Walker at 570.586.1843.
