About LEAGUE

Although we like to have a little fun with the LEAGUE campaign, the purpose of the campaign could not be more serious. Funds raised from the annual faculty and staff giving campaign support LLCC students and programs. As a donor, you can choose where your donation is directed including: the general scholarship fund, the LEAGUE grants program or for the greatest needs at the college. We appreciate all that faculty and staff do in support of our students on a daily basis!

Circus is the theme of the annual faculty and staff giving campaign known as LEAGUE. LEAGUE stands for Leaders Establishing Annual Gifts Underwriting Education. The LEAGUE Committee has lots of fun in store for the campaign kickoff on Tuesday, March 28 including lunch and a performance by the Gamma Phi Circus.

Can you guess this faculty or staff member from LLCC’s Big Top? Correct guesses will be entered into a drawing to win a prize. Submit your answers to llccfoundation@llcc.edu. Check back tomorrow for the answer.
