10.1.26 | General
Temple Athletics announced today the successful results of the inaugural Elevate the Owls Challenge, which generated $110,394 from 224 donors in support of Temple student-athletes.
The 24-hour challenge brought members of the Temple Athletics community together to support the Owls and marked the first major initiative of the Elevate the Owls campaign, a multi-year effort to grow participation in the Temple Owl Club to 5,000+ members while strengthening the resources available to Temple student-athletes.
"We are incredibly appreciative and thankful to everyone that participated and contributed to our inaugural Elevate the Owls Challenge," said Brian Thornburg, Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director for Development & NIL Strategy. "To generate $110,394 from 224 donors in our first year is a wonderful way to kick off the fiscal year and the larger Elevate the Owls campaign. There is real momentum building, and we are excited to continue that momentum throughout the year.
The Elevate the Owls campaign calls on the Temple community to Join, Support and Participate by becoming a member of the Temple Owl Club, supporting the Owl Club Annual Fund and each sport program's Competitive Excellence Funds, purchasing tickets, attending games and cheering on the Owls. The inaugural challenge represents an important first step in the campaign's broader effort to bring more alumni, fans, parents, former student-athletes and friends into the Temple Owl Club community as the campaign works toward its goal of 5,000+ members.
"Every donor and every gift matters," Thornburg said. "This challenge showed what is possible when Owls come together around a shared commitment to Temple Athletics and our student-athletes."
