The Rev. Dr. R.B. Holmes has been an avid supporter of FAMU Athletics. As a FAMU Trustee, he was heavily involved on rebounding the athletic department from the multi-million dollar shortfall. Holmes has personally contributed as well as challenged his Bethel Missionary Baptist Church to match or exceed his donations to FAMU Athletics. He has served as chaplain for the men’s basketball team for several years. He devised a group of contributors called “Friends of FAMU” to address the athletic department’s shortfall. In doing so, he produced a “FAMU Legacy Banquet” which saw four living FAMU Presidents and several former Miss FAMU’s in attendance. In all, that effort raised over $250,000 that went directly to the athletic department’s shortfall.
