A Faithful, Longtime Friend and Donor Shares
Why Now Is the Time To Build.
As a brilliant and successful businessman, Danny Sellers knows a lot about making wise, timely decisions. That’s why he believes the time to build Regent University’s new Athletic & Fitness Center is now.
“This sports facility was the idea of the school’s visionary founder, Dr. M.G. ‘Pat’ Robertson,” Sellers explains. “We talked about it for a few years before his passing, and I think it’s time to complete his vision.”

As the chairman of the fundraising committee, Sellers has been tasked with leading the charge to raise the $50 million needed for the university’s historic “Royals Rise” capital campaign. He’s confident that through prayer, trusting God, and the help of generous donors, Regent will reach its goal.
“I think we can get there. I feel really good about it,” Sellers says. “With this center, we have an opportunity to enhance and grow our undergraduate program substantially by bringing in more students.
To me, this kind of facility is a key ingredient of the college experience.”
Regent’s motto, “Christian Leadership to Change the World,” is not just a slogan to Sellers. He believes it’s a calling that he’s committed to help fulfill, while inspiring others to do the same.
“People should take great pride in the fact that the university is expanding,” Sellers insists. “If I were a student at Regent right now, I would look very favorably on the fact that the university is taking steps to build—not just athletically, but academically, too.”
Sellers has been a generous and faithful Regent benefactor for more than 25 years. He’s a current member of the university’s Board of Trustees and served as chairman from 2011 to 2015. In 2016, Regent recognized Sellers’ humility, charity, and service by honoring him as an inaugural member of the university’s prestigious “Society of the Crown and Shield.”
“I think the timing is impeccable to support this project,” Sellers adds. “I hope we raise more than what’s needed and have enough to finance other construction projects. I’m going to watch God do something miraculous. It’s His university. I’m excited to see how it unfolds.”
