What is Giving Day? Giving Day is a day dedicated to fundraising at Lake Erie College. This concept is not unique to our institution. Most institutes of higher education dedicate one day per year to raise funds in a way they have never before - to bring the entire LEC community together in 24 hours in the spirit of philanthropy to support the next generation of students. This demonstration of support is pivotal in helping our college receive funding in a variety of other ways. Why does Giving Day matter? Small, liberal-arts schools like ours depend on scholarship and unrestricted gifts from alumni and donors to help students afford their education. LEC Alumni have always generously supported current students - it's one of our most important traditions. How can I help? On April 28, 2023, make a gift to Lake Erie College. Even if you've already made your contribution for the year - make one final stretch gift to help us reach our goals towards the Now & Forever Campaign. We are over halfway to our fundraising goal, and we will only get there with your help. Giving Day is an important part of that effort.
