Can you Guess Who This LEAGUE Friend Is?

LEAGUE. LLCC Foundation

This huge U2 fan can’t remember the number of times they have seen the rock band in concert but they do recall they have been at LLCC for 19 years. They give because they like that donations to the LEAGUE Campaign go back to the students we serve and help make things happen that might otherwise not be possible due to budget constraints. They also like choosing where their monies are donated. This person is creative and uses computer software to communicate ideas that inspire, inform and captivate their audience! Try to guess who this LEAGUE Friend is for a chance to win a prize! Submit your answer today at LLCCFoundation@llcc.edu. Watch for the answer in LincIn.

Speaking of entertainment, the LEAGUE Committee has lots of fun planned for the kickoff of the annual LEAGUE Campaign on March 26.
