Let’s Make Our Memories Last
As a way for Association of Black Collegians (ABC) Alumni to say “thank you” to LaGrange College, we are coming together to place a lasting bench on campus—a place where students can rest, visit with friends and create memories of their own.
The current wooden benches have served the campus well but have become weathered over time. Our goal is to replace one with a high-quality, steel, powder-coated bench that will endure for years to come. This sturdy bench will be placed on Caswell Plaza, between Lewis Library and Pitts Dining Hall.
How You Can Help
We invite you to join us in making this gift possible. The cost of the bench is $2,500, and we need to reach our goal by July 31.
- Make a gift online below
- Mail a Check: LaGrange College, Attn: Martha Pirkle, 601 Broad Street, LaGrange, GA 30240
- Please note “ABC Alumni Legacy Bench” on your payment.
If we reach our goal, we will dedicate the bench during Homecoming Weekend 2025, Oct. 17–19.
Thank you for helping us create a meaningful legacy for future generations!
