As the founder and CEO of Family Leisure Inc. and an entrepreneur who started home, property and advertising businesses, Andy Prefontaine (71) has managed to achieve a great deal of success since his time as an MSU Eagle. Now, he and his wife, Debbie, want to do their part to ensure that same success is within reach for future generations of students.
The Morehead State University Foundation has announced the establishment of the Andy and Debbie Prefontaine Scholarship Endowment. The endowment will provide scholarships to assist in the recruitment and retention of students beginning in the 2019-20 academic year.

In honor of their charitable commitment, two spaces in the newly renovated Adron Doran University Center (ADUC) are adorned with their name: the Prefontaine Tower and the Prefontaine Pub. Prefontaine Tower is located at the northernmost entrance of the ADUC expansion and the Prefontaine Pub is one of ADUC’s newest dining options and student hangouts located on the first floor just past the tower entrance.

This scholarship endowment was established as part of the Soar to New Heights Scholarship Campaign. The Prefontaines hope that this general scholarship endowment fund will change many lives at Morehead State.
“Some students would not even be able to attend MSU without a scholarship, and that’s why it’s important,” Andy said. “I’ve been very fortunate and if life gives you good fortune, you really should pay it back. It should be a part of your life.”
