Tennessee Wesleyan University (TWU)’s baseball team celebrated the dedication of the Bobby Goodfriend Field and the Wendy Goodfriend Press Box at Athens Insurance Stadium on Friday, April 17 in Athens.
“Tonight we honored the present with the people that built the foundation, and that is what made tonight so special,” said TWU Baseball Coach Billy Berry.
TWU leadership thanked 500 generous donors, alumni, and friends who were present.
A generous donation from Dr. Bobby Goodfriend and his wife Wendy funded significant improvements to Tennessee Wesleyan University’s facilities. These improvements included the installation of lighting, a new video scoreboard, and the expansion of the outfield wall.
At the event, Donny Mayfield, TWU’s VP for Athletics, recognized Bobby and Wendy Goodfriend, welcoming them on the field in concert with a video recognizing all the donors of the project.
TWU would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to Bobby and Wendy Goodfriend, who, through this investment, have left a lasting mark on the history of Tennessee Wesleyan University. The student-athletes, coaches, staff, and the Wesleyan community will be forever grateful to you.
The Bulldogs capped off this magnificent celebration with a 12-2 victory over Milligan.
Congratulations, thank you very much, and go Bulldogs!
