Giving Day 2024

Stephanie is a Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Emeriti Trustee and serves as Co-Chair of the Friends of µþÂáö°ù°ì±ô³Ü²Ô»å±ð²Ô Leadership Team. 

Thank you to all who contribute time, talent and treasure to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ’s beloved northern campus. Special thanks to all who made Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Giving Day 2024 a huge success for Björklunden!  Spearheaded by the Friends of Björklunden Leadership Team, a $45,000 matching gift challenge was created. There were 154 contributors who responded to the challenge and pledged $167,400 to Björklunden on Giving Day for a total of $212,400. Truly, this is a remarkable gift to help sustain the mission of this beautiful campus into the future!

Wonderful things happen at Björklunden and donations from you are a major part of its success! Gifts support operating and programming expenses that sustain Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ student programs and make µþÂáö°ù°ì±ô³Ü²Ô»å±ð²Ô thrive in the Door County community. For many students, Björklunden bonds them to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ in a unique and experiential way. Donations also support the Net-Zero µþÂáö°ù°ì±ô³Ü²Ô»å±ð²Ô Initiative, providing Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ and the Door County community with a model for environmental sustainability. 

Continued support In 2025 is vital as we celebrate 50 years since Björklunden officially opened its doors to the Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Community. Put Björklunden first on your giving list for 2025 and join us throughout the year in celebration. Enroll in a summer seminar, come for a concert or Boynton Chapel tour or simply stop by to walk the trails and enjoy the lakeshore.  Björklunden is a place where you can retreat and renew your spirit as Winifred and Donald Boynton intended with their generous gift to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ many years ago.

To make a gift, or contact one of the team at 920-832-6548; 800-283-8320, ext. 6548; or annual.giving@lawrence.edu. Again, your financial support is always greatly appreciated!
