Abstract:

"A Lumberton native with impeccable Wall Street credentials--and a smart art collection--helps the UNC Tar Heels stay financially robust." In 2017, John Townsend and wife Marree pledged a $50 million gift to UNC, including a $25 million gift of art to be displayed in the university's Ackland art Museum. The Townsends are 1977 graduates of UNC.
