CHAPEL HILL—On Monday, Carolina Athletics and The Rams Club announced their largest gift in history: a transformational commitment to support the Carolina football program with resources to build on its recent success and secure future excellence.
The gift was made by The Eddie and Jo Allison Smith Family Foundation. The foundation is headed by longtime Carolina leader and benefactor Eddie Smith Jr. '65 of Greenville, N.C., and was cofounded with his late wife Jo Allison Smith. This historic commitment will honor their son Chris Smith '87 by naming the field at Kenan Memorial Stadium the Chris Smith Field.
