Help Us Get Additional Funding
Here is another great reason to consider a gift to LJC: Our great friends at the Elba L. and Gene Portteus Branigin Foundation will match every donated dollar up to the first $15,000!
Also, Franklin Mayor Steve Barnett and Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers are additionally matching each contribution up to $4,000. So, a $30 donation today will turn into a $90 contribution to LJC.
You can contribute securely on our website. Please contact Tandy Shuck if you have any questions.
