PHILADELPHIA - On Thursday, April 25, the Temple Owl Club participated in Temple Toast, a one day University-wide giving campaign during Temple's Global Days of Service. During the 24-hour campaign, 444 Temple alumni, fans and friends rallied around athletics to contribute over $169,000 in gifts toward student-athlete resources.
The generosity of an anonymous donor's $50,000 challenge boosted efforts, for an overall impact of over $219,000 toward Temple's 19 athletics programs.
The tremendous support from donors on Temple Toast placed Athletics at the top of the leaderboard, making up almost 50% of all University dollars raised on the day, and marking a record-setting year for most dollars raised by Temple Athletics on Temple Toast.
