Philanthropist Robert G. Fuller Jr., who has a long history of supporting Augusta-area causes, has committed $1,640,000 to complete Cony High School s athletic field upgrades, a city of Augusta project that had stalled for lack of funds.
Fuller, a former Augusta-area attorney with area roots that go back centuries, said that the donation is an investment in Augusta s future.
“I believe that when a high school has a continuing history of athletic success, it fosters a sense of community pride, Fuller said in a news release from the city. It rubs off. When this pride is evident it becomes easier to attract people who’ll add value doctors, teachers, artists, entrepreneurs and who’ll choose to stay around. Not only because Augusta has the superior facilities and services they demand but it’s also where a visitor can detect that its citizens are upbeat and enjoy living where they are.
