{Lexington,
Kentucky}…During a tour of the renovated locker room complex at Rupp Arena Tuesday,
DeWayne Peevy, UK's executive associate athletics director, said Joe Craft, the
coal magnate behind the Joe Craft Center and the Wildcat Coal Lodge, will
donate the majority of the $2.5 million that has been raised to date for the Joe
Craft Basketball Suite. Also, $1 million has been given by Sarah Healy and the
late Jerry Healy of Lexington ,
whose names adorn the entrance to the circular, wood-panelled locker room. The
cost of the entire project is estimated at roughly $3.1 million. Peevy says most
of the fundraising was done by men's basketball coach John Calipari.
