The Marquette Challenge

Marquette University PT students initiated The Marquette Challenge in 1989 as a fundraising effort to support physical therapy research through the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research (FPTR). MUPT students challenge others at PT and PTA national programs to raise money for PT research.

• The student organization that raises the greatest amount is declared the Challenge winner and is invited to co-host the Challenge the following year.
• Prizes are awarded to the top three schools and to schools reaching the Award of Excellence, Award of Merit and Honorable Mention categories.
• All participating schools are recognized nationally on the FPTR website, on the Challenge microsite, a full-page Ad in PT Motion, an article in PTJ and the Foundation’s virtual Awards Celebration.
• The Challenge is the largest ongoing fundraising program for the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research completely run by students.
