A rendering of what Tucker Field could potentially look like at the completion of the upcoming project.
Greg and Corinna Tucker have made a $2 million gift to the University of New Hampshire to install lights at Tucker Field, the future home of the men’s and women’s soccer and women’s lacrosse programs.
塔克一家是UNH Athletics的长期支持者, and their gift is a significant step in transforming Tucker Field into a stadium. 除了为联合国卫生小组提供住房, Tucker Field provides community space for the Oyster River Youth Association (ORYA).
“Athletics is an invaluable tool for bringing people together and providing a positive outlet for so many students and young athletes. 体育有助于建立社区和提升一个机构, and we are so proud to play a role in enriching that process at UNH,格雷格·塔克说.
格雷格•塔克是 ProAmpac, 全球领先的软包装公司, and serves on the UNH Director of Athletics Advisory Board (DAAB) and Northeast Passage Futures Board. Corinna Tucker is a UNH professor emerita and an active member of the DAAB.
The Tuckers have established and are involved in multiple foundations and non-profit organizations, including the 埃莉诺和克拉伦斯·普雷沃基金会，塔克基金会和 ProAmpac员工援助基金.
“These organizations, along with the others we support, are our passion,格雷格·塔克说.
埃莉诺的气质 & Clarence Prevo Foundation is to make a difference in the lives of parents, 儿童及社区青年. This mission is embodied in the Tuckers' gift to UNH and the surrounding community.
“We want this facility accessible to athletes of all abilities to serve as many community members as possible,格雷格·塔克说. “我们希望这份礼物能为联合国大学及其邻国带来改变.”
Tucker Field was built during the 2018-19 academic year and has been an outstanding resource for varsity programs, ORYA和其他社区组织. The addition of lights will significantly affect how the field is utilized and is an important step in converting the field into a competition venue. 塔克球场的计划是包括体育场座位, concessions, 卫生间设施, 记者席和其他设施.
“我们非常感谢塔克一家的大力支持,UNH田径主任艾莉森·里奇说. “This gift is transformational in how it will allow us to better support our teams and engage with the community. We are thrilled to continue building our connection with the Tuckers, 谁是很棒的搭档，真正的野猫.”
