Celebrate 50 years of Stewardship of Björklunden by generously donating on Giving Day 2025! Your gifts ensure that Björklunden, Lawrence University’s Northern Campus in Door County, continues to honor the legacy of Donald and Winifred Boynton as a place of peace and contemplation and as a thriving center of creativity, learning, collaboration and sustainability.
Projects such as the historic Boynton Chapel restoration and the Net Zero Carbon Emissions Education facility would not be possible without your support. In addition, your contribution helps maintain the beautiful facilities and vast acreage of open space and makes it possible for over 1,500 students to visit annually.
The weekend student retreats provide a unique experience for Lawrentians to engage more intimately with professors, mentors and fellow students in a special setting away from the routine of Appleton campus life. Here the Lawrence community gathers in small groups to focus, collaborate and celebrate! They pursue common goals and objectives and explore and reflect upon ideas, community and global issues, and artistic and athletic endeavors. Every gift to Björklunden is greatly appreciated and helps to maintain Lawrence’s northern campus while creating extraordinary learning experiences for all.
Light! More light for our forest retreat!
This year several generous Friends of Björklunden have already contributed nearly $40,000 to create a match challenge to inspire contributions to Björklunden on Giving Day. With this challenge, your contributions will be matched twice! First, alumni from classes 2009-2029 will have their gifts matched with $500; all other gifts are matched dollar-for dollar. Second, all gifts designated to Björklunden (up to the amount of the challenge match pool) will be matched again, dollar-for-dollar, by the Friends of Björklunden challenge. Please stay tuned for more details, and thank you so much for your support!
