5th Annual Lawrence Giving Day – Wednesday, October 10
What is Giving Day?
Lawrence Giving Day is a one-day-only fundraising event celebrating all things Lawrence. The 5th Annual event is on Wednesday, October 10. When you give a gift that is meaningful to you, Game Changers will match it with a gift to the Lawrence Fund.
Giving Challenges
Gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar thanks to our generous Game Changers, doubling the impact of your gift for current students. Any gifts from the Classes of 2002-2022 will be matched with $500. So $10, $25, $50 or $100 gifts quickly becomes $510, $525, $550 or $600. If there is a gift more than $500, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar.
** All matching gifts will be going to the Lawrence Fund**
New Challenges happening this year!
Keep your LU spirit high by participation in different Giving Day Challenges throughout the day on the Lawrence Facebook page. There will be a mix of giving, sharing, trivia, and tagging challenges that will all unlock big amounts of Game Changer money!
Live shows
New primetime experience from 6 pm until 9 pm- This 3-hour live online show will be jammed packed with all of the things you know and love about Giving Day. It will feature many activities, performances, and guest appearances. Throughout the day we will also be going live on Facebook to kick off the day, featuring different areas of campus, and play some trivia. Make sure to tune in!
