Today is LLCC Giving Day
Jovan Richmond
Today is LLCC Giving Day — an annual online fundraising event designed to engage alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends to advance the mission of the college while raising critical funding for the needs of our students. This year’s theme is Believe. It’s a simple yet powerful word that reflects our collective commitment to the transformative power of education and the incredible impact we can have when we come together and strengthen our communities through learning.
Every gift — no matter the size — makes a difference in the lives of our students. Please visit LLCC Giving Day for more information or to view a list of people who have donated. To make your gift, go to Donate Now. Gifts provide the opportunity to innovate and provide maximum flexibility to meet our current priorities. Join fellow Loggers and invest in a student’s bright future.
Watch Jovan Richmond explain how Giving Day is helping him reach his goals.
