Lawrence Tech’s third ‘Giving Day’ is April 4

March 29, 2023

SOUTHFIELD—Lawrence Technological University will celebrate its third annual Giving Day philanthropy event on Tuesday, April 4.

“On Giving Day, Lawrence Tech alumni, friends, faculty, and staff members rally together to raise funds that change lives,” LTU President Tarek M. Sobh said. “And this year we’ll make Giving Day bigger and better than ever.”

Gifts to any area of Lawrence Tech are encouraged and appreciated, but this year university officials are particularly encouraging gifts to LTU’s newest fund, Emergency Scholarships for Future Innovators. This featured fund, very important to LTU, helps students who are struggling to pay for their education remain on the path toward a promising future.

“Earlier this year, we established the Emergency Scholarship for Future Innovators fund. Contributions to this scholarship are greatly appreciated, and this year will help many students having difficulty with their education costs,” said Kevin Finn, LTU vice president for philanthropy and alumni engagement.

“Whatever amount you can donate makes a world of difference to students,” added Maxwell Allison, an LTU senior who will graduate in May with a Bachelor of Science in computer science. “By easing the burden of tuition and student debt with your gift, we can focus on our studies and use our education to create a brighter future.”

The public can donate online beginning now at www.ltu.edu/givingday

Giving Day’s festivities will be livestreamed from LTU’s Buell Building through a link on the Giving Day page from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 4, with interviews and featured videos from students, alumni, faculty, staff, and donors throughout the day. The livestream will also feature the unveiling of LTU’s Blue Devil Motorsports 2023 competition vehicles from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m.

On-campus events will also include performances of the LTU Marching Band, a celebration of the LTU men’s bowling team winning the 2023 NAIA national championship, and more.

Alumni who stop by the Buell Building and donate $100 or more will receive an LTU sweatshirt, and the donor of the largest dollar amount wins a Jimmy John’s Diamond Table, which includes four tickets to a future minor league baseball game, VIP parking, free concessions, and more.
