Lenfest Participation Challenge

December 1 – 31, 2015
Dear Alumna/us:

Could the month of December be any more action-packed? We didn’t think it could until we were given an amazing opportunity to raise a significant amount of money—and we need YOU! (Please keep reading!) You see, Temple University Trustee, H.F. “Gerry” Lenfest is investing $200,000 back into Temple once 3,000 Temple Alumni give during the month of December. This is aptly known as the Lenfest Participation Challenge.

Here’s the best part: the school with the highest percentage increase in donors over last December will receive an additional $25,000 from Lenfest’s challenge gift. That means WHEN (purposefully left out “if”) TUSPM wins that honor, we will be able to add that money directly to our students’ scholarships and/or to the improvement of our facilities (think updated Anatomy Lab!)

But, for all of this to happen, we need YOU! Even if it is just $10, your donation counts. We hope you’ll consider participating in this challenge this year. Click here to give now.

Should you feel inclined to give a little bit more, we’d like to encourage you to invest in the White Coat Campaign. By making a $250 gift, you will be symbolically sponsoring a rising 2nd year student’s first white coat. The connection you make with a student through this sponsorship will have an everlasting effect. Please check out: http://podiatry.temple.edu/alumni/white-coat-campaign.

If you can make a gift to TUSPM this month, know that your generosity will only spark more of the same. That’s what we love about our jobs.

Warmly,
Joe Leso, Denise Krenski and Pamela Vasserman
