April 17 is our tenth annual GiveDay! The Hopwoods founded Lynchburg 122 years ago with a gift of $100. Since then, Lynchburg students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends have come together to support everything that makes this such an extraordinary place to live, work, learn, and grow. Join us today as we celebrate our history and reimagine our future!
While you’re always welcome to direct your gift to whatever is most meaningful to you, gifts to The Lynchburg Fund support our entire institution. You also have the opportunity to split your gift between several different funds.
Don’t see the area you want to support? Try searching by typing a keyword as your designation — all of our active funds are available to give to as part of GiveDay!
And remember, if you need assistance with making your gift, phone lines are open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 434.544.8321.
Thank you — your support this GiveDay helps drive an undeniably life-changing experience for the next generation of Hornets!
