For the last decade, Matt Avery, a 1987 Lock Haven University graduate and former wrestler, and his wife, Maureen, have been avid supporters of Lock Haven head wrestling coach, Scott Moore, and the Bald Eagles' nationally-recognized wrestling program. The Averys are honored to provide financial assistance to student-athletes competing for the program Matt once proudly wrestled for.
Giving back has always been natural for 1959 Lock Haven State Teacher’s College (LHSTC) graduate, Jim Berkebile. The pride he feels as a first-generation college graduate and retired principal of the former Lock Haven Junior High School makes assisting Lock Haven University students on their quest to earn a college degree and achieve their professional goals one of the philanthropic causes he is most passionate about.
Planned giving at Lock Haven University gives alumni and donors an opportunity to define their LHU legacies by making a significant and long-lasting impact on the programs and teams that matter most to them. And, now, with a multitude of giving options available to help donors fulfill their philanthropic destinies, becoming a member of LHU’s Legacy Society and empowering future changemakers by providing a planned gift to The Haven has never been easier.
