As an avid ASU sports fan and proud 2005 alum, I couldn't wait to be part of our rich history and make an indelible (if small) mark in our proud tradition with my Sun Devil Stadium brick contribution.I excitedly look forward to the day when I can proudly share it with all of my friends and family as we make our way to yet another packed Sun Devil Stadium home game.

Mike Manhardt 
This is a Christmas present for my daughter Rebecca. She is an alumni and some of the best memories we share are game days at Sun Devil Stadium. Our favorite part is when Sparky comes marching through town on the big screen and plants the pitchfork in the turf. Our favorite saying is NO PITY FOT THE KITTY.

Kimberly Robinson 
My little brother and I would fight to be the one dad would take to the ASU Football game back in the 80's. We grew up always having Devil Pride. Sam Robinson Graduated class 2004 with BA in Ed.  Sam always wanted to be a teacher and coach from an incredibly young age which was granted at Marcos de Niza for his first year. He continued to South Mountain where he helped mold the team into a winning record and finally found his home at Tempe High School.  Coach Rob taught and coached thousands of young adults in football, track, wrestling and powerlifting. During his off times he would teach Native American students in the summer and was passionately involved in the Red for Ed movement. He loved every student unconditionally and encouraged all to achieve their life goals.

Joanne Martelli 
I attended ASU 2003-2008, graduating with my Masters of Science in Nursing. My oldest daughter was an undergraduate during that same time and she was in the Sun Devil Marching Band. At the end of every football game I would proudly stand and sing our Alma Mater with the Marching Band and chant “Sun Devil Pride” in response to the Marching band asking “What have we got”? I decided to have these meaningful words on my brick to honor my Alma Mater, my beloved Marching Band and my ASU Football Team. Always in my heart.

We have always been an ASU family with 2 generations of ASU grads - 12 so far and 4 current Sun Devil students! Our brother, John, was an exceptional ASU athlete and, while he was on the ASU Golf Team, he won the Amateur Public Links Championship. He was inducted into the Arizona Golf Hall of Fame in 2005 and the PGA Southwest Section Hall of Fame in 2010 with a long-standing career in professional Golf which began right here in the Valley of the Sun!

My wife, Mary passed away from breast cancer in 2015.  She was a proud Sun Devil fan to the core.  She had two other degrees from other universities but always identified as a Sun Devil, first and foremost.  This brick gives her a physical presence at the stadium so that she will always be a part of Arizona State University.

As an undergraduate of the WP Carey School of Business, a graduate student in the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and a student-athlete on the Women’s Lacrosse team, ASU has changed my life. My passion for the school and the vast opportunities I have had will forever be the foundation my future will be built on. I am thankful for all of the support and guidance I have received from the faculty, coaches and administration throughout my journey at ASU. 

Go Devils!

Michael Glitsos 
Our grandmother, Helen Stamatis Glitsos, received her Bachelor of Arts in Education from Arizona State Teacher’s College on May 28, 1940. She cherished her time at ASTC, where she was an active member of the Philomathian society, and would go on to earn her Masters in Education.
Helen put her degrees to good use. She taught elementary school (primarily 2nd grade at Madison Meadows) in Phoenix for 38 years before her retirement in 1982. Then taught Sunday school at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church for another 16 years.
Helen was also a lifelong supporter of Sun Devil Athletics; a Sun Angel; and a football season ticket holder for nearly five decades. She attended both the 1987 and 1997 Rose Bowls (making the latter trip to Pasadena at the age of 81)!
Helen passed away in 2013 at the age of 97, but would have been thrilled to know that her name will forever be a part of the school and the program that she loved.

We love you, Yiayia!
Michael, C.J. and Jennifer
