LCC Legacy Fund Exceeds Goal

Hats off to everyone who helped grow LCC's endowment by contributing to the Legacy Fund campaign! The campaign was initiated by LCC member Cliff Landesman who wanted to do something significant to celebrate his love of the lake and longstanding involvement with LCC. "Reflecting on 25 years of friendship with LCC and the lake, I wanted to do something special, something I can't afford to do every year, to recognize how much the lake means to me", Cliff noted. "I decided to offer an incentive to help LCC raise additional funds by doubling gifts up to $10,000." Thanks to Cliff, another anonymous donor who extended the match, and hundreds of LCC members, we raised over $30,000.

"We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated in the campaign", said Executive Director Lori Fisher. "The money raised builds our capacity and will help sustain future efforts to protect and restore water quality, safeguard natural habitats, provide access, and foster stewardship."

If you care about the lake and want to invest in its future you can still make a contribution to the Legacy Fund.
