Mahon Family Student Athlete Award

To recognize and celebrate Dr. Mahon’s leadership, the University is endowing the Mahon Family Student Athlete Award.

Dr. Mahon and his wife Maureen established the award to recognize an athlete in each Pronghorn varsity sport, rewarding athletic proficiency, outstanding leadership and academic achievement amongst Pronghorn student athletes. The award reflects the Mahon family’s personal commitment to sport and wellness, and reinforces the important role athletics plays in the student experience.

Since 2016, 52 individual student athletes have benefitted from the award. We’ve set a goal of raising $150,000 to ensure the Mahon Family Student Athlete Award can be distributed to nine students each year in perpetuity. To help reach this target, the University is matching all contributions, thanks to the Board of Governors’ $10-million pledge in match funds for the establishment of new endowed student scholarships.

By recognizing Dr. Mahon with a gift to the award in his name, you are supporting the drive for student scholarships and ensuring more students have the opportunity to benefit from a ULethbridge education.
