Bokhari became well acquainted with Temple when he earned his Executive MBA from the Fox School of Business.

In 2006, he gave back to his former North Philadelphia neighbor when he pledged $1 million to the school’s Building Fox, Transforming Lives campaign.

In recognition of his gift, the suite housing the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute is named after him.
