2020 was a virtual holiday affair that
livestreamed from the historic HNA
building and included footage of the
newly completed Jeanne Marie McAteer
Lee Athletic Complex and the traditional
lighting of the landmark dome.
Through the support of the generous
HNA community, the event raised more
than $160,000 to support the purchase
of bleachers to accommodate students
and spectators for events, assemblies,
and athletic competitions in the Jeanne
Marie McAteer Lee Athletic Complex.
Increased seating for future gatherings
of current students—and the greater
HNA community—is just one of the
exceptional benefits of the new athletic
complex.
