Lakeland College

At this time of year, we share meals, we share stories, we share gifts with family and friends. We count our many blessings and make special efforts to connect with those we love. Here at Lakeland, we consider you—our alumni—not only our family, but also our blessing. The work you all do in the world helps others to see what a special place this is. Your generosity helps us to carry on, providing excellence in education to students from all over the world.

Every person who has ever attended Mission House or Lakeland College has been the beneficiary of someone's philanthropy. Think of the names on the buildings, classrooms, scholarships and the thousands of gifts—big and small—given to each year's annual fund.

The circle of giving continues when you extend your gratitude by giving generously to this year's Annual Fund for Excellence. In so doing, you ensure that current and future students will thrive at Lakeland College, just as you once did.

This year, the goal of The Annual Fund for Excellence is nearly $1 million, and at mid-year we are only a third of the way there. By joining together as a community of givers, we can reach our goal. When you are checking your Christmas giving list this holiday season, please remember the blessing of Lakeland College and give as you can. Merry Christmas.
