Heath, Lance Clark of Bill Clark Homes make largest gift in Pirate club history

by | Sep 25, 2024

Tuesday marked a monumental moment in the history of ECU Athletics and the Pirate Club. Director of Athletics Jon Gilbert and Pirate Club Executive Director Ryan Robinson are proud to announce a record-breaking gift from Bill Clark Homes, the largest investment in the 63-year history of the Pirate Club.

The gift, made by Heath Clark and Lance Clark, co-owners of Bill Clark Homes, closes out the funding for the Isley Indoor Performance Center and will spearhead a final push to fully fund the Dick and Sarah Bennett Baseball Building expansion project.

Bill Clark Homes is the top overall donor in ECU Athletics history. Heath Clark, a former Pirate baseball student-athlete (1991-1994), holds the distinction of being the largest Pirate Club benefactor among former student-athletes. Lance, a 2000 graduate of UNC Wilmington, is the current Pirate Club Executive Committee Vice President and he is a 2024 ECU Honorary Alumni Award recipient.
