Tiffin University will host its annual Night of Champions Friday, September 18, in the TU Heminger Center, 350 Miami St., Tiffin. The event, held as part of Homecoming and Family Weekend, is open to alumni, friends, parents and community members to celebrate the past, present and future of Dragon athletics.

This year’s Night of Champions will feature a new format, beginning at 5 p.m. with the Annual Alumni Awards and Athletic Hall of Fame inductions. A social hour will follow at 6:30 p.m., with dinner beginning at 7:30 p.m. The evening will also include a $5,000 reverse raffle, silent and live auctions, beverages and music.

The Night of Champions also celebrates the individuals and teams who have contributed to Tiffin University’s tradition of excellence while supporting the future of Dragon athletics. During the evening, TU will recognize current student-athletes who earned championships and major awards during the 2025–26 academic year, as well as anniversary championship teams.

Anyone can participate in the Night of Champions mobile silent auction, whether or not they attend the event. Auction items and experiences include a Taylor Swift autographed gold record album display, a Bon Jovi signed electric guitar, two-night stay and tickets to see the Las Vegas Knights, Wiz Khalifa concert tickets, tickets to the Cleveland Browns vs. Atlanta Falcons game, golf packages and more. Anyone can also purchase tickets for the $5,000 reverse raffle, and participants do not need to be present to win.

Live auction packages available during the event for attendees will include a private waterfront getaway in Treasure Island, Florida, a Kentucky Derby experience, a six-night stay in Paris, a luxury suite at a Fort Wayne FC game and additional travel and entertainment packages.

“The Night of Champions gives us an opportunity to bring the entire Dragon community together to recognize the people and programs that have shaped Tiffin University athletics,” said Jeremy Croy, Assistant Vice President of Athletics and Development. “With this year’s new format, we are able to celebrate our alumni, Hall of Fame inductees, championship teams and current student-athletes all in one evening while generating support that helps our programs continue to succeed.” To purchase tickets, participate in the mobile silent auction, purchase a reverse raffle ticket or learn more, visit tiffin.edu/night-of-champions.
