It's a bold investment in the future of intercollegiate athletics as we approach revenue sharing with our student-athletes. This donation, combined with Coastal Carolina Athletics' commitment to increasing scholarships for the baseball program and Coach Schnall's leadership, will position us to remain one of the elite programs in college baseball."
 
"We are immensely grateful to Mr. Pete for his exceptional generosity and selflessness," Baseball Head Coach Kevin Schnall said.

This extraordinary gift is truly transformative for both our student-athletes and the program as a whole. It represents a significant investment that will undoubtedly shape the future of Coastal Carolina baseball for years to come."
 
Miller and Schnall encourage Coastal Carolina donors to join in Fitzpatrick's support of the Chanticleers baseball program.
