Lifetime Giving Societies
The Lifetime Giving Societies represent special and revered groups within the Elizabethtown College community. Consisting of individuals who have achieved significant lifetime giving milestones to Elizabethtown College, members of these groups reflect uncommon levels of generosity and dedication. For their tremendous philanthropic support and unequaled spirits of service, Elizabethtown College is proud to celebrate these special individuals by including their names on a prominent wall display within the Brossman Commons campus center.
