Temple Football Team Receives Levy Service Award

The TU Football Team received the 2009 Philadelphia Sports Congress Robert P. Levy Community Service Award. The team put in more than one thousand hours of community service last summer, signed up a record six hundred and thirty bone marrow donors, donated their per diem to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Team members routinely visit St. Christopher's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House, and helped the homeless of Philadelphia though their numberous thanks giving food drives.

Coach Golden could not have been more proud of his squad:

"On behalf of Temple University, our Athletic Department, and our football program, all of our staff and coaches, and ultimately our student-athletes who have chosen a mission outside of oneself, we humbly, humbly accept this award and thank the Wanamaker folks and the Philadelphia Sports Congress"

Later that night Temple was, rightfully, honored at the Philadelphia Phillies' game.
