PHILADELPHIA – For the third year in a row, Temple Athletics was noted as a participant in the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) "Show Your Stripes" campaign. Spearheaded by the Compliance and Student-Athlete Affairs Office, student-athletes and staff supported the Ronald McDonald House through purchasing socks, ties, or scarves and sporting them in photos on social media with the hashtag #showyourstripes.
In 2015, Temple Athletics had only 60 total participants. This year, the department rallied 163 participants, nearly tripling last year's total. The 2016 "Show Your Stripes" participants include the Resnick Academic Support Center, women's lacrosse, women's soccer, women's rowing, gymnastics, track & field, field hockey, men's cross country, golf, the men's basketball coaching staff, the Compliance and Student-Athlete Affairs Office, as well as a host of athletics administrators and other staff members.
