8.5.26 | General
Building on the momentum of the recently launched Elevate the Owls campaign, Temple Athletics and Institutional Advancement have announced the inaugural Elevate the Owls Challenge, a 24-hour membership and engagement initiative. The challenge will begin on Wednesday, September 9, and conclude at noon on Thursday, September 10.
Designed to rally the Temple Athletics community around the campaign's simple call to action - Join. Support. Participate. - the 24-hour initiative encourages alumni, fans, parents, former student-athletes, and friends of Temple Athletics to join or renew their Temple Owl Club membership, support the Competitive Excellence Funds, and inspire others to become part of the growing Temple Owl Club community. Together, these efforts will help accelerate the campaign's ambitious goal of growing the Temple Owl Club to more than 5,000 members while creating new opportunities for Temple's more than 500 student-athletes.
"Elevate the Owls is our rally cry," said Brian Thornburg, Executive Senior Associate AD for Development & NIL Strategy. "The Elevate the Owls Challenge is our opportunity to bring the Temple community together for one day with one purpose: to build momentum, grow the Temple Owl Club, and demonstrate what we can accomplish when Owls unite behind our student-athletes. Every new member, every gift, and every act of participation strengthens our community and moves us closer to our goal of 5,000 members. Together, we will continue to elevate the Owls."
The Elevate the Owls Challenge represents the next step in Temple Athletics' multi-year effort to strengthen its donor community, expand engagement, and provide the resources necessary for sustained competitive excellence. By embracing the campaign's three pillars - Join. Support. Participate. - the Temple community can make a lasting impact on the future of Temple Athletics.
