Thanks to everyone who participated in LLCC’s first ever Giving Day. More than $5,500 was raised during the one-day campaign to replenish the Pay It Forward student emergency assistance fund. Thank you to donors and those who helped spread the word by sharing information about Giving Day on social media and through email. What a wonderful show of support for our students! Donations can still be made to the Pay It Forward fund online at www.LLCCFoundation.org or by visiting the LLCC Foundation office.

Please encourage students considering or planning to attend LLCC beginning in fall 2020 to apply for 2020-2021 LLCC Foundation scholarships by March 1, 2020.

LLCC Foundation scholarships are available for first-time and continuing students who will be enrolled full or part time at LLCC. Many of the scholarships are open to students in any program of study, with the average award being approximately $1,000 per academic year. Only one application form is needed to apply for all scholarships. Students submitting a complete application are considered for all available scholarships for which they are eligible.

The online application is available at www.llccfoundation.org/scholarships. An active LLCC email address is needed to apply for these scholarships.

Today is LLCC’s first ever Giving Day! The purpose of this 24-hour campaign is to advance the mission of the college while raising needed funds for students who may find themselves at risk of dropping out of class due to an emergency situation.

The Pay It Forward fund helps students in need like the mother of four who was evicted and needed payment for a week’s motel stay and groceries. No amount is too small when combined with gifts from other donors. Approximately $2,900 has been raised so far toward the goal of $5,000 to replenish the fund.

The gift of an education is invaluable. Make your gift today in support of students in need. For more information or to donate go to https://llccfoundation.org/giving-day or call the LLCC Foundation at 786-2785. Faculty and staff donors will receive a sticker good for a “jeans day” of their choice. #LLCCGivingDay

LLCC’s first ever Giving Day will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 25. The purpose of this 24-hour day of giving is to advance the mission of the college while raising essential funds for the emergency needs of our students.

Students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community are invited to participate in Giving Day. Contributions to the Pay It Forward fund support our students. Through this fund we were able to assist the following:

• The father raising seven children who lost his job just before Christmas.
• A nursing student who was taking cold showers because she had no gas in her home.
• A mother of four who became homeless after being evicted.

Will you help? Our goal is to raise $5,000 to help replenish the Pay It Forward fund. For more information or to donate go to https://llccfoundation.org/giving-day or call the LLCC Foundation at 786-2785.
