Lincoln Littles Giving Day
Wednesday, February 12 is not only Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday, it’s also the first ever Lincoln Littles Giving Day!
This one special day, inspired by Prosper Lincoln, gives everyone in our great community the opportunity to help more children in need receive a quality early childhood education.
You too can live by Abe’s words, “When I do good, I feel good.”
Together, we’ve raised
$ 637,397
for Lincoln Littles, an early childhood education initiative.
