The sports medicine room in the John A. Koury Fieldhouse on the Elon University campus will be named in memory of a late Elon 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 Elon freshman who died in a 1992 automobile accident. Macy, a native of Pompano Beach, Fla., was a member of the Elon football team.
Macy’s roommate was Sean Stepelton, a football teammate and 1995 Elon 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.
