Most importantly, in the process I have gained life-long friendships with my teammates and classmates whom I truly admire. I wouldn’t want it any other way.” - Caitlin McGowan, Junior Infielder

Phoenix Community Events The Elon softball team in committed to making a difference in its community as well as on the diamond. Last year, members of the team volunteered their time to help up-and-coming softball players develop their softball skills, teach fifth-graders on Education Day with the Phoenix, and help local youth and community members in a variety of ways. Through all of their work, they hope to leave a positive mark in the Elon community. Camps The Elon softball team hosts camps with local and national players of all levels from ages 7-17. The players coach the campers on hitting, pitching and catching. Education Day The softball team has assisted with “Education Day with the Phoenix” a program that welcomes students from local elementary schools to the Elon campus for educational activities and a women’s basketball game after lunch. The team helps teach the visiting students lessons in math, science and geography.
Habitat for Humanity Re-Store The Phoenix used one of its Friday afternoons to volunteer at the Re-Store, an area furniture store associated with Habitat for Humanity that refurbishes and sells used furniture. Part of the profits go towards Elon’s chapter of Habitat for Humanity. While there, the team assisted with cleaning, selling and taking inventory of the items that have been donated. Elon Fall Festival Several players, along with Coach Bocock, volunteered at the Elon Elementary School Fall Festival. The student-athletes worked with different events to ensure that the festival ran smoothly. Tomeka Watson and Coach Bocock manned the pony rides, a festival favorite. Kari Pervell helped sell tickets at the front gates, while Carly MacDougall worked the bounce house. Color Me Phoenix ‘Color Me Phoenix’ is the activity that took place at the Elon vs. The Citadel football game. Among other activities, children were invited to color a picture of the Phoenix mascot and enter their art into a contest. The Elon softball team helped set up and manage the event.
Legend of the Phoenix Throughout history there is told the legend of the rare and remarkable Phoenix, a crimson and gold bird that lived 500 years. It was sleek, swift and strong - the most marvelous bird ever created by human imagination. At the end of its life, with death approaching, it built a nest in an oak tree and was consumed in flames ignited by the sun. From the ashes emerged the next Phoenix - reborn and renewed, with strength forged in fire. Fire, too, has shaped the history of Elon University. The disastrous fire of 1923 all but destroyed Elon. Gone were Main Building, college records, classrooms, the library and the chapel. But within days of the fire, Elon trustees set
6
in motion the plan for Elon to rise from the ashes, stronger than ever. The Phoenix is a powerful leader and an emblem of immortality. It is a perfect symbol for a school that is constantly renewing and recreating itself. The Elon motto, Numen Lumen, embraces intellectual and spiritual light. And so too, throughout history, the Phoenix has served as a symbol of light and knowledge. The Phoenix is timeless and unique. It perfectly describes an athletics program and an institution that are rising to new levels of excellence. There is only one Phoenix. There is only one Elon. Catch the Fire!

The average class size is 21 with an overall student to faculty ratio of 13 to 1.
Affordability • Elon offers a top-value education by every measure: in 2009, both Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and The Princeton Review named Elon one of the nations’s top 50 “best value” private universities. The 2009 edition of Fiske Guide to Colleges named Elon a “best buy” university, based on academic quality and reasonable cost. • Elon is one of the nation’s top seven best values for students who want to attend a university with outstanding academics at an affordable cost, according to Bruce G.

What can fans Melanie all had expect to see from the newcomers? great careers with Elon and they will be missed. We’re very excited with the Our newcomers are very talented and they leadership and work ethic of our returners. fit well with our returners. We’ll have a I can’t say enough about the selflessness nice balance of power and speed. The team and talent of the newcomers. I think chemistry is really coming together and Brandi, Patti and Melanie will all be proud the newcomers have transitioned well into of the level of play they will see from these their roles. folks. What is the attitude of the team this year? Head softball coach Patti Raduenz led the 2009 Phoenix to a 15-32 record that included a win over Michigan State. The team also earned a series win over Southern Conference foe Furman. Raduenz sat down to discuss the upcoming season, her class of newcomers and her coaching staff. What do you expect from your team in 2010? This game is not bound by time, only by the limits we place on ourselves. I’m looking forward to seeing a team that does not know how to quit and a team that keeps its foot on the gas pedal and continues to believe in the power of positive thinking.
This team is definitely all fired up, which happens to be our team motto. As we look into this season, we’ll continue to focus on the part of the game that we can control our attitude. Plans are in the works for a new softball facility. How beneficial would that be to the program? Recruiting is one of the most important aspect, to winning championships. Elon is a fantastic learning community with awesome opportunities for its students. Of course, as the university finalizes the plans for the new facility and the dream is built, it would be a welcome benefit to assist in recruiting and continually improve the student-athlete experience.
You have two new coaches this year. How have they transitioned? I’m a big believer that you surround yourself with positive people and positive events are inevitable. Coach [Kathy] Bocock embodies what it means to be a great teammate. She is extremely knowledgeable and her experience in college athletics is invaluable. When Coach Bocock was a volunteer on my staff two years ago, I knew that if we ever had an opening she would be the complete replacement. Coach [Jessica] Kohut brings organization, passion and enthusiasm. She has really impressed me with her thorough pitching workouts and her dedication to recruiting. Together, they are an excellent staff that complement each other well and bring me the support and dedication all head coaches need.
How important is it for your underclassmen to step up this season, especially with no seniors on the team? There is no doubt we are a young team. Out of that youth comes a lot of energy and eagerness to be the best we can be. You have a junior college transfer on the team in Emerald Graham. What do you think the value is to having someone with post-high school playing experience? Emerald is just what her name pictures, a gem. Her experience in collegiate and postseason play brings us the leadership and consistency an experienced player possesses. With two tournaments at home this year, how important is a home field advantage to your team? Playing at home on familiar ground and in front of your fan base is definitely an advantage. The old saying of ‘nobody comes into our house and expects an easy win’ will ring true this season. The home games also allow our fans the opportunity to help supply us with that much needed

Raduenz coached shortstop Tracy Dahlen to first-team all conference accolades, while designated player Melanie Helterbran and second baseman Jackie Gonzalez earned second-team honors.

Endowment Gifts Many donors honor family members, teammates or a favorite coach with an endowment gift, which serves as a lasting tribute to a loved one or mentor. Phoenix Club donors may endow an athletic scholarship over a five-year pledge period. Endowment gifts generate annual earnings that ensure the university’s longterm success and enable Elon Athletics to fund scholarships that will have a lasting impact on student-athletes. Elon has more than 70 endowed scholarships, totaling approximately $4 million. Matching Gifts Many companies will match an employee’s charitable contribution, often doubling or even tripling the amount of the original gift. Contact your employer’s human resources department to find out more about its matching gift policy. Ways to Give Tax-deductible gifts to the Phoenix Club may be made by cash, check (made payable to the Phoenix Club), credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express), electronic funds transfer (onetime or recurring drafts) or transfer of stocks and securities.
