Memphis More Than Doubles Its Crowd-Funding Goal
Nov 10, 2016 | Football
MEMPHIS – University of Memphis athletic director Tom Bowen today announced that the crowd-funding effort following the Tigers' 51-7 football victory over SMU exceeded the $20,000 goal.
The win on Saturday was the sixth of the 2016 season and made the Tigers bowl eligible for the third-consecutive season. Immediately following the game, Memphis sent out a request to celebrate this great feat with a contribution to the Tiger Scholarship Fund. The goal of the effort was to raise $20,000 in 72 hours.
In total, the campaign raised $50,281, which was 251% of the original goal.
"The rise of this football program has happened in large part because of the energy, passion and generosity of our fans and donors," said Bowen. "This is yet another illustration of the incredible success that Memphis athletics is embarking on every day."
For more information or to make a contribution towards student-athlete success or the "Time to Shine" capital campaign, call our Tiger Scholarship Fund office at 901-678-2334.
The Tiger football program is back in action on Saturday against USF at 6PM in the Liberty Bowl. For tickets, call 901-678-2331.
