This year each of our 24 NCAA Athletics programs are raising funds to support their programs directly. Projects will be announced on March 28. Will you help us get in the game and support Lawrence Athletics and our student-athletes?
With all teams working together, the overall goal for the crowdfund is to surpass 850 donors in 7 days! We are depending on our passionate Viking community of alumni, parents, and friends to come together and help us reach this goal. Every single gift matters, and every single donor counts.

Cabaret is free for Lawrence students! Tickets can be purchased at the Box Office.
Cabaret is Lawrence International’s flagship event. It is an annual celebration of cultures, traditions, clothes, performances, and cuisine from across the globe, and it has been going on for over 40 years. It brings together a plethora of different cultures represented on campus (which promotes integration among the cultures), and fosters a positive social dynamic among LI and Lawrence community members.
A Cabaret is a unique event that promotes an understanding of diversity in Lawrentians and members of the greater community. Many students from numerous countries prepare for months to participate and get a chance to show their cultures.
Any student can participate in any performance and can join the fashion show to represent their own or another country.
Every year, faculty members, friends families, their children, and other community members participate and get a first-hand glimpse of other cultures.
