REUNION GIVING
Reunions at Lawrenceville are occasions for celebration and remembrance. We hope you will consider a reunion gift in honor of your Lawrenceville experience.
Your Reunion Class Agents will be in touch in the new year with more information about the 10th Reunion Class gift. In the meantime, you can visit your 10th Reunion Class Giving page to learn more about reunion giving.
Reunion Class Agents will be active beginning in January, helping the alumni and development staff to fundraise for your 10th reunion class gift! We have a small but mighty group of class agents already signed up to help, and we would love to recruit more volunteers. The time commitment is minimal, and reunion class agents have a tremendous impact in reaching out to classmates to ask for their participation in the class gift. Interested in learning more? Contact Amanda Heitzman, Assistant Director of Reunion & Class Campaigns, at aheitzman@lawrenceville.org.
