Please meet Founder donors:

We have many alumni and friends who make giving to Graceland a regular habit, but perhaps none who surpass the record of Claremont '38 and Charlotte Robinson, of Parkville, MO. This wonderful couple has made a donation to Graceland each year since 1976, even before the Development Office started keeping computer records. That's more than 30 years of consecutive giving to their favorite university. For the record, nearly 50 other couples or individuals have made a gift to Graceland for at least 29 consecutive years, and the list goes on and on. So many wonderful things are happening on "the Hill" and so many students' lives are being transformed at Graceland's Lamoni and Independence campuses. Why not think about starting your own family legacy of consecutive giving?
