L.E.A.G.U.E., which stands for Leaders Establishing Annual Gifts Underwriting Education, is the annual giving campaign for Lincoln Land faculty and staff.
The 2009 edition of the campaign featured a "Super Heroes" theme and was a rousing success with gifts and pledges of $39,761 from LLCC faculty and staff!
The campaign began in 1995, and since that time, hundreds of thousands of dollars has been returned to the college in the form of grants, scholarships and other support. Additional dollars are placed in an endowment fund with the goal of funding the annual grant program.
Nearly 40 percent of LLCC faculty and staff give annually to the LLCC Foundation. Thank you, LLCC faculty and staff for your great support of student learning!

- Developing a children’s literature collection for the library
