The Florida Atlantic University athletics department recently received a gift of $50,000 for its on-campus stadium from Gary Lesser on behalf of Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith, PLLC. The contribution has been recognized with permanent signage on a stadium concession area.
“We are extremely grateful to Gary Lesser and Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith for this gift,” said Jennifer O’Flannery Anderson, Ph.D., vice president of community engagement at FAU. “We truly appreciate their generosity, and we’re pleased to name the Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith concession area in their honor.”
Gary Lesser is managing partner for Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith and serves on the Florida Bar Board of Governors. He also is a member of the FAU Foundation Board, a dedicated group of alumni and friends of the University who volunteer their time and expertise to spearhead fundraising efforts and manage the Foundation’s assets. This year, Lesser and his Firm are celebrating 85 years of serving its clients and supporting the greater community of Palm Beach County.
“As committed members of the Boca Raton community, we are proud to support the FAU football program as it continues to shine a bright national spotlight on the University,” said Lesser. “We look forward to the Owls’ 2012 season and being an active part of the many other exciting events that will be hosted at FAU Stadium.”
To date, FAU has secured more than 30 named sponsorships for the stadium. The University is offering naming rights for more than 30 additional venues in and around the stadium to help fund the $70 million project. FAU’s 30,000-seat open-air stadium features 6,000 premium seats, including 24 suites, 26 loge boxes, 1,000 premier club seats and 4,000 priority club seats, and the latest, state-of-the-art amenities.
