Syracuse, N.Y. -- Upstate NY businessman and Syracuse superfan Adam Weitsman is selling his suite for Syracuse football’s homecoming game this weekend against Clemson, and the proceeds will benefit the father of former Orange quarterback Eric Dungey.

The suite has 24 seats – Weitsman and his assistants are purchasing four of them – and the other 20 are up for sale. Weitsman says nine seats had been sold as of Monday afternoon.

Weitsman is selling the seats for $1,500 each or two for $2,500, and he plans to make a $10,000 donation on top of what is made from the tickets to help reach a goal of $35,000.

“(Eric) and I are really good friends, and he opened up to me about his dad having really bad cancer, and I wanted to really try to support the father,” Weitsman said. “There’s a lot of medical bills piling up."

Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim has agreed to stop by the suite to talk with fans, and Weitsman says it’s part of Boeheim’s appreciation for Dungey.

“Coach (Boeheim) really respects Eric a lot because he gives 100 percent every second,” Weitsman said. “He really respects people with that type of work ethic.”

Weitsman added that he expects Tim Dungey to battle just like his son did at Syracuse.

“(Eric) is a fighter and a great role model for kids, and I think he did a lot for the football program here, and the dad will be a fighter just like the son," he said.

A well-known philanthropist, Weitsman has found multiple opportunities recently to give back to his community.
