Earlier this week, the Owls were honored by the Philadelphia affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for a Cure, the largest organization dedicated to breast cancer research, education and health services.

The award, presented by Susan Barnett, the CBS3/CW Philly 57 Eyewitness News anchor, recognized the team’s dedication and inexhaustible efforts for the foundation, including logging approximately 1,000 hours of community service each spring, and continuous participation in the Komen Race for a Cure. On May 8 of this year, the Owls made up a near 1,000-man participation to raise approximately $3.3 million.

The team has also received several accolades to honor its dedication to the community, including several T.E.A.M. awards – an honor awarded by Temple honoring “exceptional acts for mankind” in 2009 and 2010.
