In addition to celebrating Alumni Weekend, baseball alumni, parents and friends of the program also celebrated achieving the fundraising goal of $50,000 for the Babcock Legacy Endowment.
In recognition of the legacy of Coach Brad Babcock — who built JMU Baseball into one of the preeminent programs in the region and touched the lives of many over his 32 years of service at JMU — the endowment was established to provide support for the JMU Baseball program in perpetuity. Though the initial endowment fundraising goal has been achieved, it's just the beginning! The team's next goal is $100,000, and they need your support to continue to impact the JMU Baseball student-athlete experience. Consider making a gift to the Babcock Legacy Endowment at JMUDukeClub.com/baseballsupport.
