About Montana Tech of the University of Montana
When Kelvin Sampson announced his donation to Montana Tech's Project Dreams, he urged others to support a sweeping renovation of the HPER Arena, including a new floor, new bleachers and new scoreboards. "It's great to be involved," Sampson said, "but we need people to be committed." In that spirit, the Town Pump Charitable Foundation – more... has shown its commitment to the community of Butte and Montana Tech by giving $100,000 to Project Dreams. The new court will bear the Town Pump logo alongside Sampson's signature.
President and Founder, Tom Kenneally Sr., served on the Board of Directors at Montana Tech Foundation from 1990 to 1995. According to Tom Kenneally Sr., "Montana Tech is a cornerstone of Butte in providing excellence in education and building our future leaders." He continued, "It is important that students have opportunities to excel both in the classroom and in athletics as this is where leadership and team play are also learned."
Tom Sr. and Mary Ann Kenneally opened the first Town Pump in 1953 right here in Butte. Today, the family owned business has grown to include convenience stores, truck stops, car washes, laundromats, motels and casinos throughout the state.
The Town Pump Charitable Foundation was established in 1999 to provide financial support to Montana charitable and governmental organizations with a priority of supporting basic needs and education for Montana citizens.
Tech Athletic Director Joe McClafferty says Town Pump is an ideal fit for Project Dreams. "Town Pump and Kelvin Sampson are powerful symbols of what we can achieve through hard work and determination," McClafferty said. "They show us that our dreams are within reach."
Project Dreams is part of Montana Tech's First Choice vision, a comprehensive plan to improve facilities, recruiting, and operations to ensure Montana Tech's place a premier athletic program.
"Our goal is to provide the best student-athlete experience in the nation," McClafferty said.
Inside the HPER complex, crews have completed demolition and have begun painting. Work on the new floor should begin soon. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
