Here at Temple, dollars are synonymous with impacts. This makes our past year's $79,201,818 total all the more electrifying.

There are more than 41,000 stories of giving that made the past year so remarkable—the six that we are spotlighting embody the buoyant spirt that's alive and well on North Broad. From a retired doctor-cum-football fan to an elementary school music teacher, each offers a perspective that you're sure to relate to.

If you’d like to share your feedback or your own unique story of giving to Temple, I invite you to contact our director of stewardship and donor relations, Carolyn Schmitt, at 215-926-2332 or stewardship@temple.edu. Thanks to you, Temple is at a great turning point, and we look forward to continuing to build a brighter future together.
