The <strong>Towering</strong> <strong>Titan</strong>s at a glance<br />

Providing support for <strong>Westminster</strong>’s athletic programs is <strong>the</strong> <strong>Towering</strong> <strong>Titan</strong> Organization (TTO), formed in 1976<br />

around a core <strong>of</strong> devoted, loyal and intensely interested alumni, parents and friends. The organization purposes itself to help<br />

maintain, improve and endow <strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s athletic programs.<br />

Over $3 million in gifts have been contributed to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Towering</strong> <strong>Titan</strong> Fund since its inception.<br />

The annual income is distributed in this manner: 90 percent <strong>of</strong> all donations go directly to <strong>the</strong> sport(s) chosen (donations<br />

can be designated to a specific sport for men or women), with 10 percent going towards <strong>the</strong> operation and promotion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

fund. All 20 varsity sports for men and women benefit from <strong>the</strong> fund.<br />

A minimum gift <strong>of</strong> $30 qualifies a donor for membership. Members receive a membership card, <strong>issue</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Towering</strong><br />

<strong>Titan</strong> <strong>Newsletter</strong> and invitations to social events such as golf outings each July, and recognition dinners and ceremonies that<br />

are scheduled periodically. Qualifying gifts are also recognized through membership in <strong>Westminster</strong>’s Giving Clubs. For more<br />

information or to join <strong>the</strong> <strong>Towering</strong> <strong>Titan</strong>s, contact <strong>Westminster</strong> Director <strong>of</strong> Athletics Jim Dafler at (724) 946-7313.<br />
