Linfield to celebrate Giving Day
Tuesday, May 1, is Linfield’s 3rd annual Giving Day. Exciting activities are planned for our Portland and McMinnville campuses: on the patio in Portland (8 a.m. – 1 p.m.) and the Fred Meyer Lounge in McMinnville (9 a.m. – 4 p.m.).
Join us to celebrate how Linfield Gives, and participate by encouraging alumni, parents and friends to support the college on May 1, so we can exceed our goal of raising $250,000. Also, feel free to stop by the activities on either campus.
For more information about spreading the word or making a gift of your own, visit our Giving Day site or contact your colleagues in Institutional Advancement, 503-883-2217.
When we all give, our students thrive.
