Orgill helps raise funds for college
LCAD will be the beneficiary of a raffle sponsored by Mark Orgill, owner of [seven degrees].
Orgill has donated a stay in a two-bedroom villa at Sunset Cove Villas Oceanfront Resort for a grand prize drawing in May. The donation, valued at more than $2,500, will fund renovations to the campus gallery.
“We wish to express our gratitude to Mark for his generous donation,” said Jonathan Burke, vice president of academic affairs. “Allowing LCAD to sell tickets for the weekend at Sunset Cove will help raise much needed funds for the new college gallery.”
Burke said that 100% of donations will go toward the gallery building fund.
Tickets are $50 each and available at www.lagunacollege.edu. The winner will be announced at 7 p.m. May 4 at [seven degrees] during the fifth annual Senior Fine Art Exhibition.
