Billy Stone Service Award
Named after one of BU's finest former student-athletes, coaches, and administrators, the alumni letterwinner's service award was established in 1982 to honor the loyal volunteers who have supported Bradley's athletic programs for many years with their time, energy, and/or financial support.
Coach Stone was a multiple letterwinner as a Brave and former top draft pick off the Chicago Bears. After his professional career, he returned to the Hilltop as BU's long-time football coach and also served as assistant athletic director. His many duties included oversight of his beloved B-Club, now the Varsity Club.
