Landmark College to Honor John Bagge during April 18 Gala Fundraiser
Landmark College announced it will be presenting John Bagge with the Founder’s Award during the “Futures: We Get There Together” fundraising gala taking place Thursday, April 18 at Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City.
Bagge is expected to be in attendance that evening and make remarks as part of the program, which will also include Rebecca Jarvis of ABC News and other special guests. The event takes place in the Palm House from 6-9 p.m. and includes a cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres and a full dinner.
John Bagge graduated from Windham College, and, as town manager of Putney, played a key role in helping Landmark College find a home in Putney. He became a founding member of the College and began coaching baseball in 1985 and became a member of the faculty in 1986 and then served as resident dean before retiring in 2010.
Tickets for the “Futures: We Get There Together” gala are on sale now at www.landmark.edu/gala2024 or by contacting the Landmark College Office of Institutional Advancement at 802-387-6734. There are options to attend both in-person and online.
The evening’s program will also include a live auction, fund-a-need, and stories from students, parents, and trustees about how Landmark College exclusively enrolls students with learning differences (such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or executive function challenges) to achieve their academic and career goals. An online auction and 50-50 raffle will also be part of the fundraising efforts leading up to the gala.
Proceeds from the event will provide scholarship and programmatic support for current and future Landmark College students. Since 2014, Landmark College galas have raised more than $3 million in support of its mission.
