Giving

Wearing a single-digit jersey is one of the highest honors that a Temple football student-athlete can earn. Prior to each season, these coveted numbers are awarded to the team members who embody the Temple TUFF culture in the classroom, on the field, and in the community.

Temple Athletics shows appreciation to some of the most ardent supporters of the athletic department by welcoming them to ‘The 9’ for their commitment and generosity at the $50,000+ annual unrestricted level.

Temple donors will be recognized in The 9 program for their philanthropic impact on the academic and athletic experiences of our student-athletes.
