HANNIBAL, Mo. — Hannibal-LaGrange University announced its fourth annual Day of Giving 24-hour period will run between noon on April 11 and noon on April 12. HLGU has set a goal of 250 new gifts to the university in this 24-hour timeframe.

“Your gift, combined with those of hundreds of other HLGU Day of Giving donors, will not only help to make scholarships or projects become realities but also have a direct impact on the lives of current and future students,” Director of Development and Alumni Services Lauren Youse said in a press release. “By joining together with the greater HLGU family during this special event, you’re demonstrating your commitment to the university and the Christian community that sets us apart.”

More information will be released via HLGU’s social media pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in the coming days. Those who want to spread the word about HLGU’s Day of Giving can do so by using #HLGUDayOfGiving in their social media posts.

Gifts received as a part of the Day of Giving may be designated toward HLGU student scholarships, the renovation project for Crouch Hall and Pulliam Hall or the HLGU annual fund.

During last year’s Day of Giving, 267 gifts were given, raising $143,830.08.

“I am thankful for the way that God worked in people’s lives in supporting our Day of Giving,” said Ray Carty, vice president for institutional advancement. “The number of individual donors surpassed our goal. The amount of financial support that was expressed was amazing and encouraging. We are thankful.”
