Dear fellow Lisgarite,
 
As Honorary Fundraising Chairs of the 175th Anniversary Reunion, we are proud to solicit your support for the Friends of Lisgar Campaign.
 
At the heart of any secondary school is the auditorium—the scene of concerts, plays, recitals, commencement ceremonies, assemblies, and, of course, reunions. In the case of Lisgar, the Alumni Auditorium, renamed in recognition of the generous donations received at the 160th anniversary celebrations, is arguably the most beautiful and historic in the city.
 
Unfortunately, time takes its toll, and the Alumni Auditorium finds itself in need of a great deal of new equipment—speakers, a sound board, lighting, curtains, a hanging projector and screen, and more. While the school board can cover the most urgent of expenses, Lisgar is counting on the Friends of Lisgar Campaign to bring the Alumni Auditorium up to the standards necessary for student life in the 21st century.
 
No contribution is too small, and all donations are tax-receiptable through the Lisgar Fund. In addition, all donors will be recognized for their contributions at a special event in the Alumni Auditorium once the improvements have been made.
 
The following outlines the different donor categories and recognition:

Supporter ($75–$149)Mention in newsletter
Sponsor ($150–$749)Engraved name plate affixed to a seat in the refurbished Alumni Auditorium, as well as mention in newsletter
Patron ($750–$1,499)Name permanently displayed on the Lisgar 175th commemorative board in Lisgar’s main entrance, as well as name plate affixed to a seat in the refurbished Alumni Auditorium and mention in newsletter
Benefactor ($1,500+)Special commemorative medallion, as well as name permanently displayed on the Lisgar 175th commemorative board in Lisgar’s main entrance, name plate affixed to a seat in the refurbished Alumni Auditorium, and mention in newsletter
When you register online for the reunion, you will have the option to include a donation, with payment by either credit card or cheque. Or, if you won’t be able to join us at the reunion, you can make a donation to the Friends of Lisgar campaign either online at lisgar.net or by sending a cheque payable to The Lisgar Fund to Lisgar Alumni Association, 29 Lisgar St., Ottawa ON K2P 0B9.
 
Lisgar’s living legacy, creating a learning environment conducive to the emergence of leaders in government, business, and the community, in areas including law, education, medicine,  the arts, entertainment, and sports, must be continued for future generations. We thank you in advance for your support of our beloved alma mater.

Dear fellow Lisgarite,
 
As Honorary Fundraising Chairs of the 175th Anniversary Reunion, we are proud to solicit your support for the Friends of Lisgar Campaign.
 
At the heart of any secondary school is the auditorium—the scene of concerts, plays, recitals, commencement ceremonies, assemblies, and, of course, reunions. In the case of Lisgar, the Alumni Auditorium, renamed in recognition of the generous donations received at the 160th anniversary celebrations, is arguably the most beautiful and historic in the city.
 
Unfortunately, time takes its toll, and the Alumni Auditorium finds itself in need of a great deal of new equipment—speakers, a sound board, lighting, curtains, a hanging projector and screen, and more. While the school board can cover the most urgent of expenses, Lisgar is counting on the Friends of Lisgar Campaign to bring the Alumni Auditorium up to the standards necessary for student life in the 21st century.
 
No contribution is too small, and all donations are tax-receiptable through the Lisgar Fund. In addition, all donors will be recognized for their contributions at a special event in the Alumni Auditorium once the improvements have been made.

The following outlines the different donor categories and recognition:

Supporter ($75–$149)Mention in newsletter
Sponsor ($150–$749)Engraved name plate affixed to a seat in the refurbished Alumni Auditorium, as well as mention in newsletter
Patron ($750–$1,499)Name permanently displayed on the Lisgar 175th commemorative board in Lisgar’s main entrance, as well as name plate affixed to a seat in the refurbished Alumni Auditorium and mention in newsletter
Benefactor ($1,500+)Special commemorative medallion, as well as name permanently displayed on the Lisgar 175th commemorative board in Lisgar’s main entrance, name plate affixed to a seat in the refurbished Alumni Auditorium, and mention in newsletter
Lisgar’s living legacy, creating a learning environment conducive to the emergence of leaders in government, business, and the community, in areas including law, education, medicine,  the arts, entertainment, and sports, must be continued for future generations. We thank you in advance for your support of our beloved alma mater and look forward to seeing you at the 175th Anniversary Reunion in May.
