Thank you for the flood of donations!

April 03, 2019

Live Lit received a flood of donations last weekend, and we are now 92% of the way to our goal! Every single donation has gotten us one step closer to ensuring Live Lit continues to exist and thrive at MSU! We are incredibly grateful for each and every donation!

 

Today is our last day and we are hopeful that we will reach 100% by tonight at midnight!

 

Thank you so much to everyone who donated!
