The thermometer, which hangs in the window of the Cardinal Event Center, is a visual representation of the progress made on the Pathways to the Future Athletic Complex capital campaign.
Parsons, KS- The Labette Community College Foundation is the recipient of an anonymous $200,000 donation to support the Pathways to the Future Athletic Complex capital campaign. This gift will help the LCC Foundation more closely attain a challenge grant from the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation, of Midland, TX toward the construction of the LCC Athletic and Wellness Complex.
Private support for LCC’s capital campaign can come through outright gifts of cash, bequests, life insurance policies, gifts of real estate, and other giving mechanisms. Individuals or businesses can choose to give in a variety of ways, even to spread out payments up to five years. This makes the giving capacity larger and more feasible for more people.
This generous support from the donor will also help the LCC Foundation meet the $500,000 Mabee Challenge Grant requirement. The campaign has raised $5,355,060 for capital, which includes the Mabee Grant.
LCC must raise $374,840 by January 14, 2021 to earn the grant from the Mabee Foundation of Midland, TX and complete the fundraising goal. LCC capital campaign donations can be made on the website at: http://www.labette.edu/foundation/index.html or with a check made payable to: LCC Foundation, 200 S. 14th Street Parsons, KS 67357. All donations are tax deductible.
