What kind of impact can $200,000 make?

For dozens of Lake County students, it can help make college a little more affordable.

The Lake County NAACP has awarded more than $200,000 in scholarships to college-bound students - and we're not finished.

Behind that number are students, families and futures strengthened by the generosity of people in our community. People just like you.

Join us for the 68th Freedom Fund Banquet and help us continue the impact. Use the QR code to get tickets now!
