2026 Founder's Day

We are proud to share that, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we have surpassed our Founder’s Day goal and unlocked a $25,000 challenge gift from an anonymous alumnus and member of our Board of Trustees.

As we continue this celebration through the weekend, each additional gift helps ensure that more students can fully participate in the formative service experiences that are central to a Lasallian education.
