Your Impact
For more than 10 years, donors have generously given to support scholarships, department funds, travel opportunities, student initiatives, athletics, and more during our annual UTM Captain’s Challenge giving day. In 2025, we asked Skyhawks to raise $450,000 in 24 hours, and you answered the call by raising over $579,000. It was truly a record-breaking year!
