2nd Annual Step Up LSM Exceeds Goals
Step Up LSM, the annual 24-hour student scholarship drive held on April 25th, was a resounding success raising $38,000 and exceeding the goal. With over 120 alumni, parents, and friends making a gift, LSM 2024 will be able to meet the financial needs of the 70% of students seeking assistance.
Despite the geographic diversity of the LSM community, the energy and momentum of the day represented a shared passion for music and faith. The drive was supported by a team of 20 alumni, staff, and volunteers who contacted over 600 individuals, and welcomed 20 new donors. Alumni participation was noteworthy with almost half of the donations coming from former LSM students.
The significant generosity shown during Step Up LSM will ensure all incoming students the opportunity to fully experience the transformational power of LSM, and will make a profound impact on the next generation of musicians, teachers, and leaders. Describing their hope for LSM, a student applying from Pennsylvania wrote, "What strikes me about LSM is not just the music, but the collaborative rather than competitive spirit, boosted by the faith life that is such a big part of LSM."
