The Rhodes Athletics Day of Giving concluded on November 9 to record-setting numbers. 1,310 donors contributed $597,201 both all-time highs, during the 24-hour campaign.
Funds donated by parents, alums, and friends of Lynx Athletics assist with operational athletic funding such as travel, uniforms, meals, and other expenditures required to run a championship-level athletics program.
"We set new records every year and we're incredibly grateful for and awed by the support for our 543 Lynx student-athletes," said Jim Duncan, Rhodes College Director of Athletics. "Our student-athletes, coaches, and athletic staff work hard to achieve the Championship Culture we demand of winning in the classrooms, fields of play, and the Rhodes and Memphis communities. Our supporters are a part of building that culture, and we are extremely grateful."
