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 />
