ONE DAY OF GIVING | NOVEMBER 3, 2026
Why We Give
We give because LCC is more than a school. It’s a community built on faith, tradition, opportunity, and the people who make it special.
From supporting students and teachers to strengthening the programs and experiences that shape the LCC experience, every gift helps make a difference.
Join us for the 12th Annual One Day of Giving and help support the present and the future of Lima Central Catholic.
One Day. All Thunderbirds.

Some of our LCC students attended MakerFest, connecting with exciting career opportunities right here in our region. They took part in hands-on activities, met local professionals and got a firsthand look at what different careers could look like.
A great opportunity to explore, learn and start thinking about what’s next after LCC!
