Heartfelt Thanks for Your Continued Support and Generosity!

Stephanie is a Lawrence University Emeriti Trustee and serves as Co-Chair of the Friends of Björklunden Leadership Team. 

Thank you to all who contribute time, talent and treasure to Lawrence University’s beloved northern campus. Special thanks to all who made Lawrence Giving Day 2024 a huge success for Björklunden!  Spearheaded by the Friends of Björklunden Leadership Team, a $45,000 matching gift challenge was created. There were 154 contributors who responded to the challenge and pledged $167,400 to Björklunden on Giving Day for a total of $212,400. Truly, this is a remarkable gift to help sustain the mission of this beautiful campus into the future!

Wonderful things happen at Björklunden and donations from you are a major part of its success! Gifts support operating and programming expenses that sustain Lawrence student programs and make Björklunden thrive in the Door County community. For many students, Björklunden bonds them to Lawrence in a unique and experiential way. Donations also support the Net-Zero Björklunden Initiative, providing Lawrence University and the Door County community with a model for environmental sustainability. 

Continued support In 2025 is vital as we celebrate 50 years since Björklunden officially opened its doors to the Lawrence Community. Put Björklunden first on your giving list for 2025 and join us throughout the year in celebration. Enroll in a summer seminar, come for a concert or Boynton Chapel tour or simply stop by to walk the trails and enjoy the lakeshore.  Björklunden is a place where you can retreat and renew your spirit as Winifred and Donald Boynton intended with their generous gift to Lawrence many years ago.

To make a gift, give online or contact one of the team at 920-832-6548; 800-283-8320, ext. 6548; or annual.giving@lawrence.edu. Again, your financial support is always greatly appreciated!
