Give During President Carson's Power Hours!
President Carson has two "Power Hours" challenges on Tuesday:
Early Bird Challenge: The designation with the most gifts between 7-9 AM on April 4 will receive an additional $2,500 from President Carson.
Night Owl Challenge: The designation with the most gifts between 10 PM-12 AM on April 4 will receive an additional $2,500 from President Carson.
This year, TU Athletics will be highlighting two areas of importance for our student-athletes and department.
1. The Golden Hurricane Champions Fund – Our annual fund helps support TU Athletics and our student-athletes with the rising cost associated with operating a competitive Collegiate Division 1 Athletics Program. Our mission is to help provide the 400+ TU Student-athletes a world class experience in the classrooms, on the fields of play and in our communities.
The Golden Hurricane Champions Fund will have a challenge for our members this year! If we can receive 100 gifts to the Golden Hurricane Champions Fund, Athletic Director Rick Dickson will give $5,000 to celebrate! Renew your membership or join the Champions Fund Today!
2. The Tulsa Academic Enhancement Award – This is a NEW opportunity and the latest addition to Tulsa Athletics and the Golden Hurricane Champions Fund's ongoing commitment to invest in the student-athlete experience and to continue to support a competitive program. These awards are now available to student-athletes as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in NCAA v. Alston, which allows The University of Tulsa to reward student-athletes for academic achievement up to $8,000 annually. As the college athletics landscape continues to evolve, this opportunity will ensure that Tulsa Athletics can continue to recruit and retain the very best student-athletes to The University of Tulsa and continue to provide them with a world-class experience. Programs that you can make a direct impact towards are: Designated TU Athletic Sports Programs or TU Athletic General Fund.
We hope you will consider renewing your Champions Fund Gift or joining the Champions Fund for the first time. Any gift, no matter the size will help go towards our amazing student-athletes and help us build Champions here at The University of Tulsa!
