About

TODAY IS GIVING TUESDAY!

LR Bears make a difference in the world every day with their LR education. On Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving and generosity, we hope you will join us with your support and help make a difference for them!

$25k Challenge on the line!
As we work together to rally our community on this special day of philanthropy, anonymous donors have stepped up with a challenge: if 275 donors make a gift today, they will kick in an extra $15,000 for LR! Your gift of any size makes a difference as we strive to garner support for our current students and meet this challenge. We know Bear Nation can rise to the occasion!

But wait...there's more!

  • An additional $5,000 can be unlocked if 25 donors designate their gifts to the Cornerstone Food Pantry!
  • If 25 donors choose to support the "University's Greatest Needs" LRU will receive another $5,000!

That means your gift helps unlock a total of $25,000!

Every gift to LR in honor of this special fundraising effort will be counted toward our Giving Tuesday totals!
No matter if you give to the Cornerstone Food Pantry, University's Greatest Needs, internships, scholarships, the arts, athletics or something else you love about LR, your gift will be celebrated and appreciated! Give to what you love most about this place. Your gift enables opportunities for the extraordinary students here today (like the ones you see below - check them out!).

Thank you for your support - and let's go, Bears!

All-Our Bear Family is amazing! You all have helped us unlock $10k of the challenge already; 25 of you have given to University's Greatest Needs and 25 of you have given to The Food Pantry. We are only 151 donors away from hitting our overall donor goal for the day to unlock the final $15k of the challenge fund! 

Thank you all so much! Let's keep the momentum going.

Today is Giving Tuesday!

Today is Giving Tuesday and we invite you all to join us in supporting our students today. Whether through the University's Greatest Needs, The Student Food Pantry, or another area of campus that you love, your gift of any amount goes a long way. You are supporting students like Lillian Cummines '26, a first-generation student pursing a degree in English. She has big dreams and has found a place to pursue those dreams at LR. Read more about her here. In describing her experience at LR she says, "These academic departments are like hidden gems...I could honestly live and study here on campus forever and be perfectly content". Join us today to give more students a wonderful experience like Cummines is having!
