Local realtor Sue Miller chartered two buses to take fans to support the Lady Vols Basketball Team as it played in the AIAW Final Four Tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina. The enthusiasm generated resulted in Athletic Director Gloria Ray’s initiating the Boost-Her Club in April 1979 to increase fan support for all women’s intercollegiate sports. The purpose of the club was to enhance the total women’s athletics program, to provide financial assistance for athletic scholarships in order to build and maintain a total academic and athletic program of excellence, and to increase active spectator participation for all women’s sports competitions.
