Donor-recognition plans under way
June 9, 2008

Those who contribute a gift to Defining Moment: The LaGrange College Campaign for Distinction soon will be able to create a lasting legacy of their commitment to the College. Campaign leaders are working to create a permanent monument on campus to recognize the generosity of Defining Moment donors who contribute to the project above a specific giving level.

To acknowledge the year that LaGrange College was founded, 1831, donors committing $1,831 or more to Defining Moment will be recognized in a lasting way for their contribution by having their name permanently displayed on the LaGrange College campus. (Donors can make a $1,831 pledge to be payable over three years, if desired.)

Campaign Chair Scott Hawkins ’74 said of the opportunity for donors to have their names etched into the College’s history, “We thought that all of the people who attended
LaGrange, and those who love this institution’s mission, would want to be remembered for their part in creating this magnificent library. The 1831, of course, is the symbolic connection to the year of our founding but also gives everyone a reachable contribution goal for this special recognition. It enables people, whether or not graduates, to be part of her legacy and to invest in her future.”

An architectural design team is currently developing the donor-recognition marker, which will be located in the heart of the LaGrange campus. Its header will commemorate the
Defining Moment campaign, with individual donors’ names listed below according to gift level. The final design and location for the marker will be publicized later this year.

To date, the campaign’s two major objectives—1) funding the Lewis Library and related construction and 2) supporting the College’s enhanced programs and operations—
have drawn remarkable support.

The campaign staff is available to answer donors’ questions about Defining Moment and provide additional details about the various naming opportunities available at LaGrange College.
