Athletic Excellence Fund

What is GiveMore24!?

Give More 24! is southwest Washington's largest day of giving. It's the one day during the year when the entire region comes together and gives for 24 hours straight. Give More 24! was created by the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington. The campaign brings together more than 100 non-profits and encourages community members to donate to causes they are passionate about. During the 24 hours of the campaign anyone can donate.

“Everyone is passionate about something, and we are passionate about education! That's why the Foundation has chosen to participate in this worthy cause. We hope you feel the same.”

GiveMore24! Lower Columbia College 

Join us for GiveMore24 - a fun-filled 24 hours of generosity. Our goal this year is to raise $20,000 to support the Athletic Excellence Fund with athletic scholarships to qualifying athletes. Because of you, more student athletes will achieve their higher educational goals! You can make your donation through the GiveMore24! website. Pre-event giving start dates for 2023 will be posted at a later time. 

How your dollars impact student athletes

  • A $25 gift provides academic support for one study hall or tutoring session.
  • A $100 will cover the cost of sanitizer, masks and cleaning supplies for athletes.
  • A $250 gift provides a uniform for one LCC athlete.
  • A $3,000 gift provides one full-tuition athletic scholarship for an LCC student.
