Westminster College invites alumni, students, employees and friends to participate in its annual Clash of the Titans athletics giving campaign, a three-day fundraising competition Nov. 17-19 supporting all of the College’s varsity athletic programs.

This year’s theme, “Odyssey to Giving,” celebrates the journey, teamwork and community spirit behind Westminster athletics. Participants can support their favorite programs while helping provide resources and opportunities for Westminster student-athletes. Through friendly competition, each team will work to reach its donor goal and earn a place in the campaign’s Winner’s Circle.

For the competition, athletic programs have been divided into three groups: Helmet, Shield and Sword. Programs within each group will compete to earn the largest percentage above their individual donor goals by the close of the campaign at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19.

The competition groups include:
•    Helmet: Women’s soccer, men’s and women’s lacrosse, cheer
•    Shield: Men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s golf, softball
•    Sword: Football, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, baseball, men’s and women’s track and field, men’s and women’s cross country

The top-performing program in each group, based on the percentage by which it exceeds its donor goal, will receive an additional $3,000 in funding. The awards are made possible through the generosity of alumnus Lee Hite ’66.

“Clash of the Titans celebrates the dedication, determination and teamwork that define Westminster athletics while highlighting the important role the Titan community plays in supporting student-athletes,” said Jason Lener ’93, director of athletics. “Contributions help strengthen the College’s athletic programs and invest in the experiences and opportunities that help Titans reach their full potential.”

Supporters can follow the competition’s progress through online leaderboards and make a gift to their favorite athletic program throughout the three-day campaign.
