I hope you've enjoyed a relaxing summer so far. We are preparing for the start of the school year with preseason on August 13. Classes start August 21.


Thank you for your support of the Academy during the past fiscal year. We are grateful to all of you for remembering LFA in your annual giving. It makes an impact!


We hope to see you this fall at our events. Don't forget: Reunion takes place on campus on Oct. 14.

The Power of 10. The Power of YOU.

 

When you make monthly recurring gifts, you are a part of each of these milestones in the LFA student experience:

 

  • August – Checking in for pre-season athletics and settling into dorms


  • October – Service project to benefit local elementary schoolers


  • December – Exams and end-of-semester concerts


  • January – Beginning new classes and meeting with new student organizations


  • March – International Fair, learning about other cultures and sharing their own


  • June – Move-Up Day and Graduation, celebrating accomplishments and accolades of hard work

 

Between now and June 30, 2024, you can make 10 monthly recurring gifts to spread out your philanthropy as it works best for you, and ensure that LFA students and faculty receive consistent support all year.

 

You make a difference when you choose recurring gifts to the Academy Fund. That is the power of YOU.

 

Set up your plan today! Please contact Hannah Shallenberger, Director of Development and Stewardship (hshallenberger@lfanet.org, 847-615-3233), with questions.
