Your generosity honors Tom Hodgson's memory and supports St. Thomas Swimming and Diving.
Tom Hodgson served as the coach of the St. Thomas Swim & Dive Teams for 35 years before transitioning the program to current Head Coach, Scott Blanchard, in 2014.
Tom left many traditions and memories that will stay with the Tommie Swim & Dive team forever. His teams were known for their culture and "Family" identity, a term coined by the student-athletes after he initiated co-ed practices in January 1981.
The 2022 St. Thomas Athletics Hall of Fame inductee coached more than 100 MIAC champions, produced 46 All-Americans, and was named MIAC Coach of the Year seven times.
After he retired, the Hodgson Swimming Family Endowment for Varsity Swimming and Diving was created for the express purpose of enhancing the student-athlete experience for members of the St. Thomas Swimming and Diving Team. Funds raised through this effort help support Tommie Swim & Dive by offsetting expenses that are above and beyond the program operating budget.
Please consider making a gift in honor of Coach Hodgson's legacy with the St. Thomas Swimming and Diving program.
Thank you!
