Longtime Elon athletics donors Scott and Jenny Quakenbush of Burlington have made a gift to endow the Scott Quakenbush Baseball Scholarship to make an Elon education available to additional talented students.
In addition to making their endowment gift, the couple increased their annual contribution to athletics to become members of the Phoenix Club IMPACT (I Make Phoenix Athletics Competitive Today) Circle.
Scott Quakenbush, who is retired from Carolina Paper Box Co., played baseball at Elon for two years and later played minor league baseball for the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox organizations. The couple are passionate Phoenix fans and longtime season ticket holders for football and basketball. They also can be seen regularly at Elon baseball games.
