Celebrate Russell Conwell's birthday during the Temple Toast, Feb. 17.
Dear ##First Name##,
Today is the university's first ever 24-hour online fundraising campaign The Temple Toast, celebrating Temple's first President Russell Conwell. Today also marks the official start of the Senior Class Gift, your philanthropic alumni journey. I am encouraging our Temple community—alumni, faculty, staff, friends and students—to honor our founder's mission and make a contribution toward Temple's future.
President Conwell believed that every student should have access to a high quality affordable education, and so do I. To honor this tradition, I am challenging the Class of 2015 to leave a legacy at Temple. Make your gift to the Student Emergency Fund and fuel our mission. Many of you know classmates that are here today because of this fund. It provides students with financial support to stay at Temple while they overcome unexpected hardships.
I believe deeply in our mission at Temple, and in our students' potential, so I will personally match* every dollar contributed by a member of the senior class to the Student Emergency Fund. Be a part of the challenge, and make your Senior Class Gift today!
Sincerely,
Neil D. Theobald
President
*Gifts to the Student Emergency Fund will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000.
