Toga's story begins in 1972, when he was born on a farm in nearby Mooresville, North Carolina. As a kid, Toga was a playful and curious goat. He loved to explore and was always getting into mischief.

In 1977, Toga's owner, Mrs. Peggy Shuford, decided to donate him to Davidson College. Mrs. Shuford thought that Toga would be a good mascot for the Davidson Wildcats, the college's athletic teams. And she was right. Toga quickly became a beloved member of the Davidson community.

Toga was a regular at Davidson football games, where he would lead the team onto the field and entertain the crowd with his antics. He was also a fixture at other Davidson events, such as concerts, plays, and lectures. Toga even had his own student ID card and attended classes with the other students.

Toga's presence on campus had a positive impact on the students. He helped to create a sense of community and spirit. He also taught the students about the importance of acceptance and diversity. Toga was a reminder that everyone is welcome at Davidson, regardless of their background or appearance.

Toga passed away in 1994, but his legacy lives on. He is still remembered as one of the most beloved members of the Davidson community. In fact, Davidson College even has a scholarship fund in his name. The Toga the Goat Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to students who demonstrate the same spirit of acceptance and diversity that Toga did.

Toga the Goat is an inspiration to us all. He shows us that anything is possible if we believe in ourselves and never give up on our dreams. He also teaches us the importance of acceptance and diversity. We should all strive to be like Toga the Goat: kind, compassionate, and accepting of everyone.
