AUBURN MONTGOMERY/MONTGOMERY, AL — July 11, 2018 — Lt. Col. and Mrs. Clarence Jack Doane have generously given $25,000 to the Auburn University of Montgomery Athletics Baseball Complex

“This is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time. My affiliation with AUM Athletics has allowed me to stay young and help out players in need. With AUM’s move to Division II, it is important that our Athletic facilities are enhanced and I am excited to play a role in making that happen. I look forward to others joining me in this important effort,” said Jack Doane.

As part of the Athletics Department complex enhancement project, the Doanes’ gift will go toward providing much needed improvements to the baseball field dugouts.
